What's the Writing Center all about?

We help students develop their writing skills and, secondarily, their critical reading skills. We want students who visit us to develop their best writing process. We do this by:

engaging students in conversation. We talk with you to see what you understand about your assignment, and to help you develop a plan of action. Simply talking with you is one of the most important things we do. Tutors share their own writing strategies and other ways they know that writers engage in the process of writing.
allowing the writer to do the work. We won't edit or write your papers for you, but we will help you with any stage of writing and revision, from developing ideas to revision.
focusing on global revision concerns first. Discovering a focus or thesis, finding the appropriate tone or voice, re-envisioning organization and structure, exploring ways to fully develop ideas and points - these are the first concerns of a writer, and should be the first concerns of the writing tutor. Local revision - by which we mean sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage - come later. (This local revision might be drastically changed as you revise those bigger ideas!)
remembering that the writer is our primary concern. Our goal is to help you strengthen your writing skills so your writing will improve. We work with the current paper as a way of getting to work with the writer.
