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.
