Contact: Kelli Cummings, Director of the Writing Center

The Writing Center, located in the Zondervan Library, provides peer tutoring in writing from trained writing tutors who work with student writers of all skill levels. Tutors engage with student writers in one-on-one writing discussions, ranging from generating ideas to negotiating editing difficulties. Although we discuss writing, we focus on writers.

The Writing Center can help students with the following areas:

• Figuring out what to write
• Making points stronger
• Writing an introduction
• Adding length to a paper
• Crafting a thesis statement
• Organizing main points
• Improving the flow of a paper
• Improving sentence structures
• Quoting, paraphrasing and citing
