The Writing Center
Director: Dr. Jeff Howard
The Writing Center provides writing assistance to all students enrolled at Converse. During the 2023-24 school year, we will provide flexible support, including face-to-face conferences, live video conferences, and asynchronous paper review. Undergraduate Peer Consultants and a Graduate Assistant offer guidance at every stage of the writing process – from generating a thesis to examining overall coherence. The Writing Center does not simply proofread papers; we actively nurture our clients’ learning process, serve as a thoughtful trial audience, and help students learn to identify and correct their own errors.
