The Writing Center at Duquesne University provides writing instruction and support for undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff. Our staff of trained graduate and undergraduate writing consultants provides one-on-one assistance for writers working on academic papers, professional applications, web sites, presentations, and other projects. The Center also offers workshops, class visits, and instructional support for anyone interested in writing, including instructors wanting to incorporate effective writing pedagogy into their classes. Our mission is to serve as a resource for dialogue about writing across campus and to help make not only better papers, but also better writers. We work with writing from all disciplines and throughout students’ writing processes, from outlines and notes to drafts and revisions. Writers do not need to have a completed paper to come. All they need is a writing task and a willingness to engage in active conversation about their work. We offer a teaching, not a proofreading service. Our goal is to help writers become more capable and confident by talking with them about how they can improve their own writing. We do not correct or complete their writing for them. We guide them in doing their own work.
