Before the syllablurb, I (Dave Leaton, the Director of the Writing Center) want to remind you that the Writing Center is not primarily a remedial service. There is a well-known tendency for professors to think of the Writing Center only when they see “bad” writing. All students (and faculty!)–your best and worst writers included–will benefit from having a stranger (but a trained student) read their writing. The idea is to let them know whether their writing is doing what they think it’s doing, and then to discuss why. Confirm good practice. Work on the stuff that needs work.

Hi, writer. Question: do great writers get feedback before they publish? Of course they do. Some will even pay for the service. It’s important to discover whether your writing is doing what you think it’s doing (and why). Bring your writing to the Writing Center. No, it doesn’t matter what the writing is. No, it doesn’t matter where you’re at in the writing process (first draft? 33rd draft? whatev). You don’t have writing? You don’t know what to do with the assignment? Bring it in. We help writers (good, average, bad) become better writers. Make an appointment using the Writing Center online scheduler.) You’ve already paid for it in tuition. Come early and often. Don’t let genAI cancel your brain.
