This article<\/a><\/strong> titled “Why Visit the Writing Center?” was shared with us by Professor Christa Tiernan. It’s a short, chatty read to help students understand how to best use the Writing Center. It both reassures and encourages students, but also primes them to think of a consulting session as a potential to have an “idea rich conversation” about their writing, rather than just viewing the session for editing or correcting.<\/p>\n
