Services for Faculty
What We Can Do For You
Writing Skills staff can come to your classroom and present briefly (5 minutes) on the services available to students. If you feel that your students could benefit from more time with a Writing Skills professional, we can collaborate to create customized in-class presentations focusing on any number of writing topics with or without a discipline-specific concentration.
What You Can Do to Help Us
Faculty is invited to send class outlines and/or writing assignments to the Writing Skills staff so that we can more ably assist students in their assignments. Contact information appears below.
