The Writing Center will continue to offer a number of initiatives to support faculty this semester. Faculty members in all disciplines are invited to take advantage of the following:

• Commercials
  If you wish to encourage your students to visit the Writing Center, consider scheduling a live “commercial”—a 10-minute in-class presentation by a tutor who will explain the services offered by the center and how students can use them to their advantage.
• Made-to-Order Workshops
  Is there a writing issue your students tend to struggle with or a concept you want to reinforce? We are happy to design and deliver a 30-minute in-class workshop on a writing-related topic (for example, citation styles, thesis statements, or peer response). Please request a workshop at least two weeks in advance.
• One-to-One Consultations
  Maggie Herb, director of the Writing Center and assistant professor of English, offers individual consultations with faculty members on both pedagogical concerns (writing assignment design and implementation, for example) and professional and academic writing.

To schedule a commercial, a workshop, or an individual consultation, please contact Maggie Herb.
