What Do We Offer?
Weekly Appointments
You may set up a weekly appointment with any writing consultant.
You can cancel if you need to and start up again when it is convenient
for you if that time is still available.
Resumé Guides
Come use any of our resumé guides as a reference. You can also
work on your resumé or cover letter with a consultant.
Sample “A” Papers
Some professors have had students submit papers
for which they received an A. They are here for you to look at as an
example. These cannot leave the Writing Center, but feel free to come
in any time
to peruse them.
Writing handbooks and style guides
A quiet place to work on writing
Feel free to come to the Writing Center, even if you aren’t looking
for a consultation. Sit down at one of the computers in our cluster,
or
grab
a seat at a table or on one of the couches. Make yourself comfortable,
and let us know if we can be of any assistance.
Computer cluster
We have several computers and a printer, so you have access to the Web
and word processing right in the Center.

your text
“In your writing,
be strong, defiant, forbearing. Have a point to make and write to it.
Dare to say what you want most to say, and say it as plainly as you
can.
Whether or not you write well, write bravely.”
—Bill Stout
