Conference Updates

The Writing Center is already excited for the NCPTW coming in November. So far we have recieved 129 submissions and are preparing for 300 presenters. We have submitted two proposals of our own, one about blogging and one about academy prep. The average submission has come from 1st year grad students and we have many more coming in. The deadline for submissions has been extended until May 1st.

A Tribute to Our Winners

During the month of February, the Writing Center hosted a contest for all students who came and got their papers tutored. With over 200 tutorials, the odds were not ever in their favor.  Instead of imminent death and bloodshed though, shiny iTunes gift cards were waiting to be had as prizes. Jarod Guzik and Elizabeth Carter were selected from the group as our tributes, well in this case, winners. We want to congratulate them on their wins! Also, thank them and everyone else for coming into the Writing Center and encourage others to do the same. Who knows what the next prizes will be! Stay tuned for upcoming contests and prizes as we wind down on the school year.

Ask aTutor

Dear Aska Tudor:
I didn't make any of the committee meetings and I'm really sorry, but I had three other meetings on Wednesday and Sage had an awsome curry chicken on Thursday and I got so wrapped up in my taste buds that I forgot about the meeting, but I would reallyreallyreallyreally like to be a director of a committee sowhatshouldIdo?
Sincerely,
Nevah Ahn Thyme
