The University Writing Center serves Western Carolina University students,
faculty, and staff with assistance in the textual, organizational, and
mechanical aspects of written expression. This mission is accomplished with
one-on-one writing conferences, self-guided instructional handouts,
mini-courses on writing topics, and drop-in inquiries about writing. In
collaborative conferences, tutors discuss with writers the development of
ideas, organization of content, sentence structure, clarity, style,
documentation, grammar, and punctuation. Tutors encourage positive attitudes
about writing and help writers view revision as a constructive part of the
writing process. Tutors are not editors; therefore, we will not correct a paper
without the writer's involvement. However, we will assist writers in using
proofreading skills and strive to make useful suggestions for improvement.
The Writing Center directed by Barbara Hardie and is located in Hunter Library.
