WRITING CENTER

The Writing Center works with faculty and administration to make tutoring welcoming, inclusive, and equitable. The Writing Center seeks to embody UIC's mission "to transform lives and serve society by educating, creating knowledge, and putting knowledge to work on a large scale and with excellence."... The Writing Center invests in tutoring that is conducted by peers. Without judgment, tutors talk to fellow students about strengths as well as opportunities for improvement. Tutors take interest in the content of writing and create opportunities for fellow students to make choices about their writing. Writing is learned best in an environment that fosters community... The Writing Center inhabits spaces built on the occupied original homelands of the Council of Three Fires: The Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois nations. We work towards a relationship of support and healing with Native communities.
