Faculty Resources
- Schedule a Writing Center Class Visit
Upon timely request, the Writing Center can send a small group consisting of one administrator and one or two students to lead a course discussion about writing center services. This can take place within the Writing Center itself, or in the reserved classroom space. Faculty can schedule a visit with an available administrator through our scheduling software. - Request an Embedded Tutor
Upon timely request, undergraduate peer tutors may be embedded with specific courses to provided targeted peer tutoring support. Use of embedded tutors is dependent upon tutor availability and schedule allowance. - Writing Center Workshops
The Writing Center, upon timely request, can provide course or content-specific workshops on anything ranging from APA citation styles to getting your paper off the ground. - Writing Center Flyers
The Writing Center has created branded flyers describing our services and providing instruction on creating appointments. These flyers are most useful when combined with a syllabus section dedicated to encouraging students to use the Writing Center and a quick conversation on the first day of class or at the outset of an assignment. Flyers can also be slightly modified to include extra information pertinent to your course. - Recommend a student as a Writing Center Student Tutor
The Writing Center continually welcomes recommendations from Marian University faculty and staff regarding potential student employees. The Writing Center seeks qualified students from all majors. - Dedicated Lab Instructor
The Writing Center, upon timely request prior to the academic year, offers the potential for Lab Instructors, or degree-holding professionals with at least 18 credit hours completed in a writing-related graduate program, to have dedicated time in their day specifically for students enrolled in a particular course. Students would be able to make hour-long appointments with an instructor who is informed on the expectations of the course and in communication with you to the extent that is necessary for the course. To request a dedicated lab instructor, please contact the Assistant Director of Operations, Tanisha Neely.
The Writing Center Syllabus Policy
The Marian University Writing Center is pleased to offer a range of services including Spanish language writing tutorials, writing workshops, multimodal/digital writing, and graduate student tutorials, both in person and online. Tutors are available to help develop ideas before writing them down, discuss strategies for organizing, and assist with charting revisions and edits.
Walk-ins are always welcome to meet with a Writing Center peer and graduate tutor at our location in the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Memorial Library. However, appointments may be created by visiting marian.edu/writing-center and are recommended (especially during peak demand times). The Writing Center focuses on collaborative development in writing, so you should expect to engage in conversation with your tutor to discuss your work.
For the protection of our university community, masks may be required to enter the Marian University Writing Center.
Helpful student resources, as well as more information about the Writing Center’s services, are available at marian.edu/writing-center.
