Our tutors receive special training in a full-credit class taught by the Writing Center director. The Writing Center is part of the Department of English and is supported in part by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences . The director, Peter Vandenberg , and assistant director, Elizabeth Coughlin, are faculty members in the English department. The Writing Center has offices on the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses, which are open throughout the regular academic year. We offer 30 and 50 minute appointments.
Students can schedule appointments either on an as-needed basis or as regular weekly meetings.
We are in the process of developing online consulting services, so visit this web site again soon to find out more about them. The DePaul University Writing Centers encourage students to take charge of their writing. We offer help and feedback, not proofreading or writing services though we will help students with grammatical difficulties. We act as readers, helping students to develop their ideas and understand how an awareness of audience can help them clarify and connect their points. We help students build proofreading and editing strategies.
