The writing center

Riverland Community College's Writing Center helps students in all disciplines become more effective and more confident writers.  We believe that writing is a powerful tool not only for communicating existing ideas but also for discovering new ones; that learning to write is a life-long process; and that all writers benefit from sharing work in progress with knowledgeable, attentive readers.  Our methods - multi-faceted, flexible, and above all, collaborative - reflect our respect for the individual writer, whose talents, voice, and goals are central to all our endeavors.

Dedicated to Riverland´s pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning, the Writing Center offers

  • trained, supportive instructors who work one-on-one with students and with groups of students at all levels and in all disciplines through drop-in and scheduled sessions
  • workshops about academic writing
  • reference materials about academic writing
Stayed tuned!  There is more to come in the near future.....
  • trained, supportive peer tutors who will work one-on-one with fellow students
  • access to resources and to writing support on all campuses

The Writing Center is for all Riverland students, regardless of where you take your classes!!
I encourage students to schedule an appointment even if they want to meet with me during my drop-in hours to make sure that I am available to help them.  They are also welcome to contact me and schedule an appointment if my drop-in hours do not work for them.
