One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time, in others' minds. -Alfred Kazin

Writing Resources

Welcome to the Learning Center's Writing Resources!  It is our goal to partner with students to help you develop skills that will enable you to write college level papers with little or no assistance.  We invite you to consult our tutors at any point during the writing process for tips and tools to improve your writing and build your confidence.  Tutoring is free and students are welcome to walk in or make an appointment.  Please remember that our tutors do not proofread or edit papers; rather, they help students discover strategies to improve their writing skills.
