Writing Center
The ÄûÃʵ¼º½ Writing Center offers free assistance to all students through drop-in services, one-on-one conferencing, and specialized workshops for students enrolled in Core Curriculum courses. Our undergraduate writing advisors (WAs) are trained to respect the intellectual work and linguistic roots of all students. We aim to cultivate writing as a process and promote healthy, coordinated habits for writing and learning while providing a brave space where passion for language can be celebrated.
