About Us
The Writing Center helps to fulfill Clarkson University's mission. By providing individual writing conferences with peer tutors, the Writing Center actualizes the Clarkson Values of caring, integrity, growth, service, and teamwork.
The Writing Center is a student-centered writing workshop where writers from the Clarkson community, with tutors' help, develop an understanding of the process, principles and skills of writing and produce more effective written projects. The tutors help writers with personal, academic and professional communication tasks, including essays, labs, reports, and letters.
All participants benefit from Writing Center services. Through conducting conferences, tutors strengthen listening and conversing skills that enable them to collaborate with writers. Writers, in turn, learn essential skills in analyzing their audience, purpose and their disciplines' expectations for written products. They also practice developing, organizing and editing their work.
Members of the Writing Center explain and encourage ethical communication practices. Writing Center tutors also help student writers from across the campus to value and cite others' research in their written projects.
