Mission
The Writing Center facilitates writers’ progress in written expression by consulting with writers about their ideas and how they express those ideas in writing and by helping writers learn the mechanical and grammatical rules of formal English, all the while striving to help clients build the confidence needed to realize their potential as writers and as productive citizens who can communicate their beliefs and desires.
In performing their duties, consultants are afforded a unique opportunity to serve fellow writers and to learn through teaching, one of the most effective ways to learn. In light of these benefits, the Writing Center promotes continued training and avid professionalism among its student and faculty consultants.
As a student service arm of the university, the Writing Center supports the university’s mission through efforts to promote student learning, to facilitate student success, to assist in student retention and to support institutional evaluation and assessment.
