Our purpose in the Writing and Reading Center is to….
- help students grow as writers, readers, and independent thinkers.
- help students understand writing and reading processes for the college level.
- encourage students in their writing and reading strengths and guide them to an understanding of how to improve any weaknesses.
- help each student grow at whatever level he/she is working at right now, whether it be ESL, English 009, English 010, English 100, or any other course that requires college level reading and writing skills.
- help students discover their voices through writing and become confident, effective college writers.
- help students develop reading comprehension, retention, and good study-reading habits.
We offer over 28 mini-courses! We can help you with language skills, grammar, paragraph writing, essay writing, and college-level reading skills.
The Writing and Reading Center provides individualized help from qualified instructors and graduate student tutors. We offer an open, caring learning environment where you can explore writing and reading at your own pace.
