If You Write, You Belong Here

The Writing Center works collaboratively with undergraduates and graduate students to develop and craft their writing.  Usually, tutors first address larger issues, such as focus, organization, and development; then, tutors assist writers with sentence-level issues, such as grammar, punctuation, and diction. We welcome questions about any part of the reading, writing, and research process.
