What is the Writing Center?
It is a free resource available for all Friends University students,
faculty and staff. Clients receive individual feedback, discussion, and suggestions
to improve their writing. Although we won’t proofread your paper, we will help
you think critically about your own writing and give helpful suggestions.
What kind of writing will they help me with?
Our staff will assist you with any type of writing whether it be: class essays,
research projects, graduate theses, grant applications, biology reports, or even
history term papers. Just bring in your draft and assignment (class notes,
handouts, syllabus, etc.), and we can help you.
Where is it located and who helps you there?
Our main facility is located centrally on the main floor of Davis Administration
Building. For those students in Northeast Kansas, our Topeka Writing Center is also
open during the week. Our staff is comprised of Friends University English instructors and student upper-classmen who have been through many hours of training to help you meet the demands of our faculty.
Besides tutoring what does the Writing Center offer?
Along with the quick writing advice you can receive, we have numerous grammar
handouts, style and writing handbooks, several ESL (English as a Second
Language) resources, dictionaries of all kinds, individual software programs for
grammatical help, and computers with internet access, word processing and
printing. In addition, specific workshops are held at various times throughout
the year.
How can I use the Writing Center if I am not on campus during their hours?
If you are in need of a resource handout, just access the link to our resources.
If you are a PACE, TUG or DCP student and have a draft that you need help with, you
can email it as a WORD attachment, and the Writing Center staff will help you
with it. Click our link on submitting email for more information.
