The Writing Center Is Open

Dear Colleagues, 

We hope that your classes are off to a great start. The Writing Center is now open for consultations. We are writing to share the available resources. We invite you to share this information with your students as well. 

Writing Center Services are offered both virtually and in-person this quarter. Students and faculty can access the resources listed below.

For Students–In-person and Virtual (Synchronous and Asynchronous) Individual Consultations

Writing Center peer consultants are available to support students in one-on-one consultations at any stage of the writing process. Our team can support students in brainstorming, planning, outlining, integrating resources, etc. Recently, the center integrated screencasting into the asynchronous consultations. Students who prefer audio feedback can now select screencasting as they upload their documents for asynchronous consultations.  The Welcome to the Writing Center Video describes the available services and walks students through a step-by-step tutorial on how to access them. 

For Faculty–Class Visits   

The writing consultants offer class visits and facilitate writing workshops. To request a class visit, fill out our class visit form. Placing your request early will allow us to plan our staffing appropriately. 

Feedback on Assignment Prompts 

Faculty members can also receive feedback on their prompts for writing assignments from a student’s perspective. If you are interested, check out more details  

Other Resources–Handouts and References 

The Writing Center has developed several useful handouts, links to writing references and style guides that you are welcome to use/adapt and use in your classes or to refer students to. Learn more at Writing Center Resources.  

Writing Center Blog, Podcast and Social Media   

Be sure to check out our blog and podcast for topics on writing, life, self-care, wellness, social justice and other topics.   

We encourage you to link the Writing Center webpage to your Canvas course. You can simply include a link to Writing Center or build a Canvas page by following Instructions on how to create a new page.
