Our Mission at the Writing Center

The Writing Center offers a welcoming and supportive environment for students and faculty who seek assistance on a wide variety of academic and scholarly writing assignments and needs. We encourage and motivate academic writers of all levels. We strive to provide the highest quality assistance to academic writers as they work to achieve their goals and fulfill their potentials both in and outside of the classroom. Our first objective is to support academic writers on the project in hand, with the goal of elevating the general quality of both their writing process and their written communication skills. Clear and concise writing often follows clear and concise thinking, and we are here to help academic writers develop logical, clear, and concise patterns of thinking. We strategize with writers to develop better writing practices that promote the intellectual growth and communication skills of undergraduate, graduate, and faculty writers.
