Write with us! Writing is a personal process of meaning-making through which we discover our agency as critical and creative thinkers. We learn through our writing. Writing is also a social and rhetorical act!  So, we invite you to join us in The Writing Center to connect with peer and professional writing tutors to share and explore your ideas and co-construct knowledge while developing your writing. Everyone is welcome to engage with us to deepen and enrich their writing practices. go/write

About the Writing Center

The CTLR Writing Center includes peer tutors who will work with writers from the beginning to the end of any piece of writing. Tutors also work with writers on generating project ideas, writing motivation, writing project planning, reviewing professor feedback, and revision strategies. A limited amount of professional writing tutoring is also available. Finally, writing pedagogy workshops and course-based tutor partnerships are offered to faculty.
