Finals Week Hours: Let us help you manage the crunch!

We'll keep our regular hours through Friday, December 10. Check the calendar on our homepage for up-to-the-minute information about where and when to meet with a consultant.

We'll be open for walk-in sessions during finals week, too.

Finals Week Hours (December 13 - 16)
Wagner Hall, Room 280
Monday - Thursday
10 am - 3 pm

Plan ahead to manage your end-of-semester writing projects. You can come in as many times per week as you'd like to meet with a consultant or just use our spaces and resources for writing. Time may feel short, but working with one of our consultants can save you time in the long run! Here are some of the things you could accomplish during a session.

• Make an outline or visual map for your next assignment.
• Create a time line for your writing through the end of the semester.
• Brainstorm on an assignment that you're nervous to start.
• Craft a clearer introduction or conclusion.
• Make sure your writing accomplishes your goals, as set by you or the assignment.
  
• Come in just to write in a space that can help you stay focused and productive. You can ask questions as they come up and get plenty of free coffee.

See you at the Center!

Creative Writers Movie Night

This Friday we will be hosting a movie night with the Creative Writers Group! We'll be showing Stranger Than Fiction, and afterward, having a discussion of the meta-writerly themes of the movie. New creative writers are welcome to join us.

The fun starts at 6pm, December 3rd in Wagner 280. Snacks will be provided by the Writing Center.

Thanksgiving Break

All Writing Center locations will be closed this Wednesday through Sunday for the Thanksgiving Break.

Close - Tuesday, 5 pm
Reopen - Monday, 9 am

A visit with a writing consultant today or tomorrow, however, could kick start your post-break writing so that you have less to do over the break and when you return. Here are some things you could accomplish in a session with a writing consultant:

• Make an outline or visual map for your next assignment.
• Create a time line for your writing through the end of the semester.
• Brainstorm on an assignment that you're nervous to start.
• Get feedback on a really rough draft so that you have a direction for revision.
• Come in just to write in a space that can help you stay focused and productive. You can ask questions as they come up and get plenty of free coffee.

Making time for a writing consulting session can actually save you time in the long run. So stop on by!
