The Writing Center serves all enrolled students, faculty, and staff at the University of Northern Colorado. Our mission is to foster confidence, growth, and self-sufficiency in the writer. To that end, the focus in any consultation is on the writer and what he or she wishes to accomplish with the piece of writing. Clients receive help with a variety of areas, such as discussion of purpose, audience, and the writer’s role in the work; development of ideas, main points, and structure; utilization of primary and secondary sources; utilization of documentation systems; and instruction in grammar. Since we desire to see advancement in the writer’s aptitude and knowledge of writing, we do not edit but instead teach clients how to proofread their own work. Tutors work with all types of writing and with writers from all levels and abilities. Clients benefit from collaborating with knowledgeable, friendly tutors in a positive atmosphere.
