The Writing Center offers Oglethorpe students free, one-on-one
tutoring sessions with a fellow student writer trained to consult on writing
assignments in any discipline and at any stage of the writing process.
The Center is located on the basement level of Weltner Library in the Academic Success Center and is open Monday
through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
All Oglethorpe students are welcome, including:
- students seeking help with grammar or style,
- resident and commuting first-year students enrolled in Narratives of the
Self,
- Core students at all levels,
- University College students,
- transfer students adjusting to Oglethorpe writing standards,
- second language/international students adjusting to the conventions of
American academic writing,
- any students writing class papers, creative essays, critiques, research
projects, speeches and symposia presentations, and
- students developing c.v.’s, job or scholarship applications, or
writing essays for graduate school applications or fellowships.
Whether you spend 10, 15, or 30 minutes consulting with a Writing Center
Tutor, it will be time well spent. Although the Writing Center is not an editing
or proofreading service, tutors are attentive listeners and readers trained to
help with a variety of writing-related issues, from identifying grammar errors
and stylistic problems to brainstorming and thesis development, and from
clarifying, organizing, and supporting a persuasive argument to responding to
audience-specific concerns and revising a draft.
