What’s New at the Center? Confirmations

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Starting Spring 2009, we have a new scheduling and feedback process for appointments. 

Students, you’ll now receive a confirmation email for each appointment you make.

Faculty, when we arrange an in-class visit such as a workshop or introduction to the Center, you’ll receive a direct confirmation email.

When students come for required visits, the session reports you receive will look a little different from previous years.

Featured Workshop: The Sustained Writing Project Experience

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Every tutor on the Center for Writing staff has experience developing a sustained writing project.  That means that students can trust that any tutor they work with will understand the particular struggles -and pleasures - of such a writing challenge.

One of the workshops we now offer is an in-class Q&A session led by a tutor who has been in the other students’ shoes.  Students can ask anything about the writing project experience — strategies, struggles, and all. 

Faculty report that it’s valuable for their classes to hear how another student successfully handled the process of researching, writing, and thinking through a complex issue.
