The Writing Center opens at 8 a.m. each weekday; Writing Assistants are available between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Students must come to the Writing Center to sign up for appointments. Appointments cannot be made by telephone. Graduate students should make appointments with Ms. Janet Aguiar; Gill Center or (419) 289-5834. Writing Consultants are helpful voices of experience: they have written papers for the same courses you are now taking, so they know the expectations of your assignments. Before you make an appointment, read the biographies of the Writing Consultants to see whose major/minor and past/present course work best matches your paper assignment.

  • discuss a new assignment
