Mission
Statement
In keeping with the Skutt Catholic mission to
educate young men and women, the writing center provides support to students
for the purpose of remediating, reinforcing and enriching their writing.
What We
Offer

reasoning, learning and inquiry
· fostering a positive attitude toward writing
across the curriculum and at all levels of proficiency
· reinforcing writing as a process as taught in the
classroom
· putting the control of and the responsibility for
writing into the hands of students
· providing a place to talk about ideas and
engaging in experimentation and practice
· giving students an audience for their work before
it's graded
· minimizing students' defensiveness about
criticism by offering a low-risk setting
· helping students understand that problems with
writing are both normal and predictable
