The Writing Center

The English Department Writing Centers (located in Morris Library 236, Lentz Hall Learning Resource Center, and Trueblood Hall Learning Resource Center) provide resources for all SIUC students who want to improve their ability as writers. Students may be seen at any of the three Centers for single-visit appointments, which can be made two days in advance, or for regular weekly appointments, which continue for as much of the semester as the student wishes. There is no charge for these visits. The staff of the Centers are graduate and undergraduate students trained in effective one-to-one teaching strategies. For more information, check out our website SIUC Writing Center or contact Dr. Jane Cogie, Director, Writing Center, Morris Library 236, 618/453-1231.
