College Writing Center
Plymouth State University

Who are we?...What do we do?

The Plymouth State University Writing Center, located in the basement of Mary Lyon Hall, is staffed by a diverse group of students and professionals from various disciplines. We are friendly, attentive, and supportive readers and listeners. We strive to help all writers at any stage of the writing process, whether brainstorming ideas, creating outlines, checking mechanics and grammar, polishing a finished product, or citing sources. Besides our one-on-one, personal consultations, we can offer you many resources from both our small library and our files of graded papers from the Business, Education, and Social Science departments, to name a few. Please note that the University Writing Center is not a proofreading service; we specialize in offering writers feedback and strategies for improvement.

Several Tips for Students Visiting the CWC

Bring any and all ideas or drafts---no matter how small.
Bring any feedback from an instructor or other readers.
Bring the professor's assignment sheet if possible.
Bring any assigned reading and/or research that is involved with the paper.
