Writing Centers
Our Learning Support Specialists and Academic Support Leads, all experienced writers and writing tutors, can work with students, faculty, staff, and members of the Columbus community on a variety of writing projects, including:
- Essay Assignments
- Research Projects
- Lab Reports
- Business Letters
- Personal Correspondence/Appeals
- Scholarship Applications
Our Learning Support Specialists and Academic Support Leads can help with any stage of the writing process, from generating ideas to revising and polishing. They do not, however, write papers, serve as proofreaders, or discuss grades, but they do help writers improve organization, development, grammar, and other skills related to writing, based on the guidelines of the project.
For Summer 2024, the Writing Centers open on Monday, June 3rd and close on Wednesday, August 7th. We will be closed during the first week of the semester and on June 19th for Juneteenth as well as July 4th for Independence Day. Below are the hours of service for each Writing Center location.
