Welcome to Summer

After a long summer break (a whole three day weekend!), the Writing Center at OU is back in action. We will be open for consultations throughout the summer from 10 am - 3 pm on Monday-Thursdays. Just a reminder: we won't be open on Memorial Day or 4th of July.

If you're taking summer classes, we are here to help in whatever way possible. So stop by for some brain storming ideas, questions about your paper, or if you just need some space to spread out your work as you tackle projects for your classes.

If you don't have any classes this summer, this is a perfect opportunity to get going on those projects you haven't had time to work on with all the work of the Spring semester. As I, Evan, am writing this, I'm thinking through all the projects I get to invest in over the summer because of the available time. I'll be working on an article to send out (hopefully by the end of the month - I'll let you all know) as well constructing a plan for my Master's Thesis. So if you have a large project looming in the distance, come on by and pull up a chair! We will be here writing, enjoying conversation, and, of course, eating the occasional waffle.
