Welcome to the Writing Center
Integral to the comprehensive writing program at the College, the Writing Center offers an abundance of print and online reference materials as well as the support of Writing Associates, who provide “peer” consultations on writing and research for student writers across all disciplines. The Center also serves as an ideal environment for students who simply want a quiet and convenient place where they may work on research projects and assignments.
Who are the Writing Associates?
Writing Associates (WA's) are talented undergraduates who have been carefully selected and trained. As members of the Writing Center staff, WA's are available by appointment to assist with various kinds of writing at virtually every stage of the writing process, including but not limited to:
- Prewriting - interpreting the assignment
- Brainstorming
- Selecting a topic
- Planning strategies
- Generating, clarifying, and/or developing ideas
- Organizing material
- Documenting sources
- Discussing elements of syntax and style
- Revising and rewriting
