The Writing Center is a part of Instructional
Support Services (ISS), the division of the University which provides
assistance to students in areas of science and math, reading, and
writing. The services of the Writing Center, as well as those
provided by other Instructional Support Centers, are supported by the
University and are provided at no cost to the student. Other ISS
support centers include ComputerWorks (Eldridge 135), Natural Science
Center (Eldridge 126), and the ISS Administration (Eldridge 117).
The Writing Center provides trained peer tutors
who work with students and faculty to improve critical writing
skills. The tutors work one-to-one or in small group settings to help
students with all types of writing at any stage of the writing
process. Our aim is to help learners to be more effective and more
efficient thinkers. We attempt to help the student become a better
writer and thinker, not just to improve a specific assignment. Our
goal is to encourage true education.
