"Nobody should suppose that good writing-the kind that says what it means while being pleasant to read-has ever been easy..."  ~Jacques Barzun

Tools for Faculty and Staff

Welcome faculty and staff! Thank you for taking time to look at our site.  Here are some ways that you can acclimate your students to the Writing Center and use the Writing Center to your benefit.   

  • Request a Writing Center Presentation. We can come to you, or you can come to us. Classroom presentations range from 5-10 minutes and come with handouts for your students. Our in-house presentations last about 10-15 minutes and consist of a brief introduction to our services.


  • Request a special Presentation. Working with APA or MLA style? We can help. One or two Writing Center Consultants supplied with handouts and strong knowledge of how to use style guides can visit your classroom. Presentations typically last 10-15 minutes.


  • Keep a file of assignments with us in the Writing Center. Whether you have one writing assignment or eight, we can keep extra copies on hand to give to your students when they visit us.


  • Stay up to date. When students come in looking for references and guidance on APA and MLA styles, we lead them to the most up to date style guides. Look for your copy of the Writing Center's Rough Draft Times for Faculty and Staff at the beginning of the winter semester for samples of APA and MLA information that we use. We will also post that information here as it becomes available in PDF format.
