We will greet you and ask if you would like to work with an experienced writing consultant. A typical conference lasts between twenty and thirty minutes. Before we start working, we need to know some basic information about you for our own records. This information allows the writing center to get the funding it needs to exist. We need to know you are using our service.
Some students come to the writing center just to study.
Whether you come to the writing center with specific questions or simply for a quiet place to study, we are always willing to answer your questions. We are trained consultants. Everyday we teach students how to unblock their writer's block, how to cite obscure documents, and how to use the semicolon. While we mostly work with General College students, we welcome any undergraduate or graduate students to visit the Writing Center. An appointment is also a good idea if you wish to work with a particular person.
