All Metro students are invited to share with us their written work for courses as well as resumes, letters of application, and other business correspondence related to their professional development. We assist writers at any stage of the writing process, and we address any writing-related concerns that they may have—both local and global. While we WILL engage in dialogue that aims to teach the writers how to revise and edit their own work, we WILL NOT correct or edit their writing. Aside from individual consultations, we provide various computer resources, grammar handouts, and in-house workshops and mini-courses for our students.
Furthermore, for the faculty, we offer several outreach programs such as writing center orientation sessions and tours for their classes. We also invite instructors to consult with us on designing and presenting writing assignments. And we will engage in ongoing dialogue with instructors whose students visit the writing center. These collaborative exchanges will create productive connections between interdisciplinary colleagues as we together seek to enhance student learning. In all, the Metro Writing Center will be a rich resource not only for students and faculty but also for the college and community as we work together to realize the power of the written word.
