Our Mutual Goals

Like you, the Writing Center maintains a student-centered focus. Our mission is not to proofread or to create perfect papers but to help students become effective, independent writers.

Here are some additional ways you can assist us and your student writers:

• Encourage all students to use the center for individual consultations at any stage of the writing process.

• Include Writing Center information on your syllabus, like our boilerplate language (see below)

• Schedule an orientation Orientation Request or share our orientation information with students.
  

• Request consultation reports. If you would like to be informed of your students' progress, remind them to request a report. Due to privacy issues, we cannot send a report to faculty unless the student consents. Students receive reports automatically and are identical to those sent to faculty.

If you have questions or concerns about a Writing Center consultation, contact the Writing Center Director, Travis Adams.
