Writing Center Services Announcement from the Director
As many of you have probably heard by now, the Writing
Center and Academic Skills Center have recalibrated their services to better
support student writing at Walden. In short, we are (a) adding doctoral writing workshops for capstone (premise, prospectus, and proposal) writers and
(b) shifting of our paper review service to serve undergraduate, master’s, and
doctoral students in coursework only. This means that by the end of the year our
paper review schedule will no longer accommodate capstone drafts, but all of
our other services (e.g., course visits, developmental editing, Q&A
support, webinars) will continue to support capstone writers.
The rationale
for this change is twofold: We want to (a) reserve skill-building sessions for
those students still in the formative stages of their degrees and (b) create a
scalable service via the workshops to ensure that all students needing
assistance at this stage can be supported (e.g., we can continue to grow our
faculty to accommodate our enrollment).
While this
change may be welcome to some and less so to others, I do want to remind you about all of the services we offer with the following figure.
