The Writing Center

Washington and Lee
University
The Writing Center offers individual tutorial assistance to
students
on any college writing task, from papers and lab reports in any
stage
of completion to resumes and application essays. Open evenings
in
Payne Hall 3A, the Center is directed by the coordinator of the
Writing
Program and staffed by upperclass students in various major
fields
chosen
for their superior writing and teaching abilities.
Writing tutors
do not proofread or edit student work; rather, they
teach students to
recognize and correct their own errors with
the goal of making the
student a more confident and self-sufficient writer.
In keeping
with the Honor System, students who come to the Center must
acknowledge
Writing Center help on any project they submit for a grade.
