mission statement
our mission statement
For Students:
The primary purpose of the Writing Help Center is to help students develop writing skills and build confidence in writing for every discipline. Our composition consultants work with individual students to help them in all stages of the writing process: researching, planning, word processing, and revising.
For Instructors:
Our secondary purpose is to help instructors with writing-related activities by providing a space for their classes to use our computers and by serving as a resource to support the instructor who may need materials, suggestions about teaching specific writing skills, or a demonstration lesson.
our values statement
For Students:
The Writing Center values all IU Southeast students who want assistance with writing skills, and we are committed to enabling these students to write with more clarity. We value students who have allowed enough time to complete an assignment and who do their own work, but seek help. For those students, we offer a relaxed atmosphere and a less structured environment.
For Instructors:
The Writing Center values professors who give clear, level-appropriate writing assignments and specify documentation styles. We appreciate professors who recommend our services to students rather than require them to use our services.
our vision statement
For Students:
Two full-time professional consultants along with student consultants will staff The Writing Center. Any student who needs help with his or her writing will be able to get immediate assistance from the consultants in person, by phone, or by e-mail. The Center wants to take advantage of new technology to help students become improved writers and at the same time encourage a strong relationship with computer services so that updates of technology will not adversely affect classes and students who use the Center.
For Instructors:
The Writing Center will assist instructors in developing level-appropriate writing assignments for their students. The Center’s consultants will visit instructors’ classrooms to conduct workshops or assist in instruction.
For the Center:
The Writing Center itself will be available to instructors who want to use the facilities for computer-aided writing instructions. The classes of writing instructors who most heavily use the Center will be assigned to the classroom that adjoins the Center. The Center has a consultation desk in the new library so students from that part of campus can get immediate assistance with their papers.
