Mission Statement
The Writing Center’s purpose is to help writers at all
levels learn more about their writing through informal, one-on-one tutoring
sessions. Our tutors can help you learn to analyze assignments, address
audiences appropriately, improve your composing processes, strengthen the focus
and organization of your writing, and improve your control of the English
language. Tutors can also help you become a better editor of your own work by
teaching you close reading and proofreading techniques. Of course, these
sessions will probably result in the immediate improvement of the piece you
bring to the Center, but the primary purpose of the Center is to improve your
writing ability over the long term. Consequently, some individuals may need to
schedule regular or frequent sessions to get their writing to a level of
proficiency appropriate for their own personal, academic or professional needs.
