Writing and Reading Center

The Writing and Reading Center (WRC), as part of the Learning Center, ensures students can get feedback and support with reading and writing assignments for any class. You can meet with a writing consultant or instructor one-on-one during any stage of the writing process: from brainstorming and outlining to revising. The WRC also has a reading paraprofessional available to help you improve your reading, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
