Hey! We moved! We’re now in the newly renovated Kirk building. We’re on the second floor, KB 2004. Up the stairs (or elevator) at the north end.
The Writing Center (KB 2004) serves students, faculty, and staff in your efforts to communicate more effectively through writing. Since 1985, we’ve been helping writers become better writers.
We can work with you during any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming through adding the final touches. We can work with you in any writing situation¹, from case studies and feasibility reports to research papers and personal statements for graduate school, and everything in between and around. Even if you want to work on the basics—grammar, vocabulary, general—we can do that.
Share your writing with the consultant before the appointed time. Share as a Google doc (paste link in the appointment form), email to your consultant, or upload through the scheduler.
SHARING GOOGLE DOCS
Open your appointment form (find your appointment time/day on the scheduler and click on it). Find the consultant’s name and email address at the top of the form. Use that email address when you click on the blue “Share” button in the upper right of your Google doc. Make sure you allow the consultant to edit your document (there should be a pencil icon to the right of the email address field).
USING THE SCHEDULER: http://truman.mywconline.com Register, log in, and then find and click on the space (day/time) that works for you. Blue spaces are unavailable. Fill out the form. Send or link to your work.
POLICIES
You should take a look at the general policies before you make an appointment. The scheduler defines our hours of operation. With our move to the library, our hours will be spread across the entire day (8:30 AM-10PM) most days. We will maintain an evening consultant in the library, when possible, after the move to Kirk in spring of 2025.
Faculty members should check out our faculty resources collection.
