About us

Mission

The Lumberjack Writing Center (LWC) offers writing support to all Lumberjacks regardless of academic program or level, skill level, physical location, or stage in the writing process. We recognize that writing is not a one-size-fits-all skill and that each writer brings their own unique perspective, background, and experience to their writing. Our goal is to encourage the development of strong writing skills across the university.

Our services include individual tutoring, asynchronous review, drop-in writing support, workshops, certifications, and more. In an LWC tutoring session you can expect to work with a trained undergraduate or graduate student. We support all genres of writing and all stages of the writing process, including interpreting assignments, generating ideas and outlining, research, grammar/mechanics, revising, presentations, group projects, and much more.
