About

OUR PHILOSOPHY

All MCC students, staff, and faculty are invited to share with us their written academic and professional work.  We assist writers at any stage of the writing process, and we address all writing-related concerns–both global and local.  We engage in dialogue that aims to teach writers how to revise and edit their work.   Aside from individual consultations, we provide in-house WORKSHOPS, computer RESOURCES, and HANDOUTS.  We are committed to helping writers realize the power of the written word. Furthermore, for the faculty, we offer several outreach programs such as writing center orientation sessions and tours for their classes. We also invite instructors to consult with us on designing and presenting writing assignments. And we will engage in ongoing dialogue with instructors whose students visit the writing center. These collaborative exchanges will create productive connections between interdisciplinary colleagues as we together seek to enhance student learning. In all, the MCC Writing Center will be a rich resource not only for students and faculty but also for the college and community as we work together to realize the power of the written word.
