Writing Center Services
Our Writing Center Team is here to help you strengthen your reading and writing skills.
We believe that successful writers, whether beginning or more experienced, benefit
from discussing their work with an engaged and supportive audience. That’s why we’re
here to help at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to drafting and
revising. We can’t wait to discuss your goals, review your work, and help you move
forward.
You can schedule an online or in-person tutoring appointment through EAB Navigate
or stop by the WC for walk-ins (though appointments are recommended). Sessions last
30 or 60 minutes, depending on your needs. If space allows, you may book more than
a session in a day; however, we encourage you to apply what you’ve learned between
visits. Also, feel free to use one of our laptops to work on your assignments. Come
on in; we can’t wait to help!
