Writing Center opens Monday, September 12

The University Writing Center will open on Monday, September 12. It is located in Room 107 of the English Building. The operating hours are:

9 am to 7 pm Mondays through Thursdays
9 am to 3 pm on Fridays

The director of the Writing Center, Dr. Lauren DiPaula, says: "Please encourage your students to come see us at any time and at any phase of their writing. Please also tell them to bring a description of the assignment they are completing so that the tutors can appropriately assist them."

The main focus of the Writing Center is to help students with issues such as topic development and organization. Proofreading is NOT traditionally a main focus of the Writing Center.
