How can the MSU Writing Center partner with you?

The MSU Writing Center offers one-on-one tutoring (online or face-to-face) for student writers of all disciplines and all class levels at any stage of the writing process. Other forms of writing support, including workshops and writing groups, are also available. We at the Writing Center believe that we support our students best when we are in conversation with those teaching in the classroom. We want to partner with you!

What can we provide?

  • Class Presentations: Our standard class presentation takes about 5-10 minutes and gives a brief who, what, when, where, how, and why of the Writing Center. You can request a class visit by filling out our class presentation form. A brief introductory video is also available on our website on our About Us page.
  • Assignment Design Consultation: Our Writing Center director is happy to work with you in designing your writing assignments.
  • GTA Consultation: We will work with your GTAs to help them most effectively respond to your students’ writing. Contact Erin Strickland for GTA consultations.
  • Writing Studios: In a writing studio, students enrolled in a class meet regularly outside of the classroom space in small groups to actively work together on their research and writing. A Writing Center tutor facilitates these groups.
  • Workshops: We can provide longer presentations and workshops upon request. We will work with you to create a session that meets your specific course needs. 

Contact Jess Carroll or Erin Strickland to set up a consultation or discuss a workshop for your class. Consultations enable us to understand exactly what specific needs and desires you have for your course. We’re happy to discuss new possibilities and models of partnerships.
