Each spring, approximately thirty undergraduates are selected to work in the Center under the supervision of a faculty Director. During the fall semester, all tutors participate in a training seminar, and they continue to receive faculty guidance throughout the year. Every Georgetown student may use the Writing Center, whether to work on specific writing problems, to seek help developing and organizing a topic, or to consult our collection of writing materials. We find that even excellent writers occasionally find it helpful to elicit a reader's response in an individual, personalized context. Our goal is to provide a truly collaborative center for the discussion of all sorts of writing.
Services are free, and no appointments are necessary.
Tutors from the Writing Center are prepared to visit your classes to introduce the Center and to distribute information about it. If, at any point during the semester, you would like to arrange for a brief presentation, please phone Caroline Eisner, Director of the Center, at 7-2998. Or stop by the Writing Center at 217A Lauinger Library.
