Sponsored and staffed by the Department of English, the Helen N. Wallace Writing Center provides free assistance on writing assignments to TU students from freshmen to Ph.D. candidates in a relaxed, comfortable, and informal setting. Consultants offer valuable mentoring at any point during the writing process, from generating ideas and developing a topic to revising and polishing final drafts. Stu
