Write that paper! Writing Center Assistance

The Writing Center can help you with the mechanics of organizing your thoughts and materials to complete writing assignments for your classes. The center offers several options for individual consultation including email or face to face instruction and live online conferencing.

The Writing Center office is located at Helen C. White Hall, Room 6171. Drop-by tutoring is offered at several campus locations including Memorial Library (West Corridor) and several residence halls.

Steenbock librarians can help you find information to inform your papers and projects and assist you with using a citation manager to organize citations to the research literature and to format bibliographies/reference lists. (Citation managers include such products as EndNote and RefWorks).
