The Writing Center
“Coming into the Think Tank was not my idea (it was actually a requirement for my course!)… The tutor and I worked on my concepts, thesis, and organization. She helped me rethink my ideas, and even take a spin off my original ideas. They went from cliché to analytical. [My tutor] was very optimistic and intellectual. Great experience!” —Joy S., Pre-Business
To help you meet your goals, the Writing Center has three types of sessions. You don’t have to have finished your paper or have even started writing! You can come with just the assignment sheet, your notes or ideas, or a draft – and you can always come with questions for our certified peer tutors.
Fifteen minute drop-in and 30-minute appointment sessions are free. One-hour individual appointment sessions are fee based.
