The "write place" outreach
Students come to The 鈥淲rite Place鈥� for various reasons. The center is a quiet, comfortable space, conveniently located near classrooms in the Parker Annex and Carver Complex. Forty-four percent of students come to The 鈥淲rite Place鈥� to work independently on their writing or other homework. Twenty-six percent of students come with their whole class to work collectively on an assignment. In these instances, tutors work along-side teachers to assist students as they complete their writing tasks. Teachers also bring their classes to the center so that students can see where we are and learn more about the services we offer. After coming here with their class, many return for one-on-one assistance. Twenty-seven percent of students come either to attend our subject-specific workshops or work with a tutor.
