All Degrees & Programs
With over 35 majors and minor areas of concentration, Elmira College lays the foundation for a diverse, cross discipline education, encouraging you to both specialize and explore.
The goal of the Writing Center is to equip students to become more confident writers. No matter what your major is, it’s important to be able to write clearly and effectively.
The Writing Center aims to create a warm, friendly environment that encourages students from all majors and disciplines to become more effective and confident writers. We support student work in all forms of writing through one-on-one consultations and workshops, and we are committed to offering effective feedback and strategies to help students improve each stage of their writing – from brainstorming to the final draft. All free of charge!
Make an online appointment (recommended):
You can also visit the Writing Center to make an appointment in person. A tutor can help you register for an appointment or, if possible, begin tutoring you. Please keep in mind that tutors may be in the middle of working with other students, at the end of their shift, or otherwise occupied with Writing Center duties, so it may not be possible for someone to work with you immediately.
"It's not just a place where you go if you think 'I'm a bad writer.' You can always go. There are ways to improve even if you are a really good writer or if you want a second set of eyes."
