PLU Writing Center

PLU Writing Center The PLU Writing Center is a resource for all PLU writers and teachers of writing.

Because we believe that all writers, whether novice or professional, benefit from feedback, our mission is to provide a site that fosters a writing community. The Writing Center is a place for active learning, so papers are never simply dropped off or sent for review. Instead, our services are designed to provide feedback to writers at every stage in the writing process. A student may bring an ass

ignment, an idea, or a draft to the center, located in Library 220, where they consult one-on-one with trained peer writing consultants. Our emphasis is on helping students become better writers, rather than on “fixing” individual pieces of writing, so we work to make sessions as conversational as possible. Consultants also assist in the editing process by sharing with writers proofreading strategies, ways to identify patterns of error, and ways to utilize handbooks and other writers’ resources. We offer feedback on papers composed for any academic discipline, as well as help with resumes, job application letters, and graduate school applications. Both the consultants and director are available to faculty for feedback on designing writing assignments and on facilitating successful peer review.
