Happy first week of school! We in the college’s Writing Center want to spread the word to all students about the services we offer. The Writing Center is staffed by writing professionals who can help students with any writing assignment, in any course, at any phase of the writing process. We’ve also assisted students with tasks like writing scholarship thank you letters and even their own poetry and stories.
Students can get the help in three different ways: in person, online via Zoom, and online via TurnItIn. The physical location of the Writing Center is on the second floor of the Marvin Library directly across from the reference librarian help desk. To work with us online, visit the Writing and Research Center webpage and select request for remote tutoring.
Additionally, we offer workshops on some of the various styles for incorporating sources into writing (APA, MLA, Chicago), as well as on how to use a writing process to improve work and on how to use A.I. ethically and effectively. These workshops are held in the LAC Training Room on the lower level of the Marvin Library.
Our in-person hours are:
- Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
