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 />
