Working With the Writing Center

The Writing Center assists both students and faculty with academic writing across the disciplines. We provide assistance for writers producing essays for graduate school admissions, resumes, theses, dissertations and creative writing. In addition to the presentations and tutorials that comprise the bulk of our work, the Writing Center staff offers expertise to faculty who would like opportunities to talk about teaching writing courses and/or designing writing assignments for classes.

If you would like to talk with Writing Center staff about your own writing or how to better implement writing instruction in the classes you teach, please contact us at 518-442-4061.

As Writing Center tutors engage the whole writer and his/her writing process (i.e., we do not proofread or simply correct grammatical errors), we ask that all faculty familiarize themselves and their students with our process-centered philosophy of writing before making an appointment or referring their students to us.
