Still housed in the English Department, we have moved to Monitor Hall . In 1987, the family of Norman H. Ott endowed the writing center, in memory of Norman's great love of poetry. They hoped to foster writing of all kinds at Marquette. The endowment helps the writing center sponsor writing events each year, from local poetry readings to visiting lecturers and writing conferences. We also use the endowment to keep our computer equipment and furnishings up to date so that students can come in and print or conference at the computers.
Writers also use the computers to find research sources at the library or on the internet.
