The Writing Center is a supportive community of writers that promotes open-mindedness, curiosity, and self-confidence. Tutors, or consultants, are graduate students from a variety of disciplines, as well as professors from the Writing Program. Rather than telling writers whether their work is \u201ccorrect\u201d or \u201cincorrect,\u201d tutors pose questions about each writer\u2019s audience and overall intent to help students gain
