The Writing Center is staffed by seniorlevel<br />
English majors who can assist students<br />
during all stages <strong>of</strong> the writing process. Writing<br />
is recognized as a recursive, overlapping activity<br />
which involves pre-writing, drafting, revising,<br />
pro<strong>of</strong>reading, and publishing. Wh<strong>at</strong>ever the<br />
academic discipline or class assignment, the peer<br />
tutors provide feedback and suggestions which<br />
will help students understand the essential<br />
elements <strong>of</strong> academic writing.<br />
Writing Center tutors can help students<br />
gener<strong>at</strong>e ideas, develop a thesis, organize<br />
m<strong>at</strong>erial, and revise early drafts. Students are<br />
also assisted in learning about grammar, style,<br />
and clarity; learning about their own writing<br />
process; and learning how to improve pro<strong>of</strong>reading<br />
skills. The Center’s staff and tutors<br />
work one-on-one with students on a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
writing projects: compositions, reports, outlines,<br />
business letters, research, and fiction.<br />
Additionally, the Writing Center has 25<br />
networked computers with Internet capability.<br />
Tutors can also assist students with World Wide<br />
Web research and word processing.<br />
Services <strong>of</strong> the Writing Center are free to<br />
university students. For further inform<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />
