The Writing Center

ink-and-well

The Writing Center Philosophy

The Writing Center is a friendly, free service for all LCU students. Students can come to the Center for assistance on any stage of a writing assignment, for any class. Our goal is to help students improve their writing and grammar skills.

The writing assistants do not β€œfix” students’ papers. Instead, they seek to empower students by guiding them with questions and pointing out areas in a paper that might need revision or development.

The Writing Center is located in the Student Success Center in the LCU Norton Library

To make an appointment, call 318.487.7160, or go to the Writing Center and sign up in the schedule binder. Walk-ins are welcome if appointments are available.

Meet the Writing Center Assistants

Madison Wilson

Writing Assistant

Hi! I’m Madison Wilson, and I am a junior political science major and English minor here at LCU. I’m a part of five different organizations on campus, including SGA, the debate team, chorale, voices, and the Academic Integrity Board. I am also a student worker in the library. This is my first semester working in the Writing Center, and I’m extremely excited to start. I’ve always loved reading and writing and have been told by almost every English professor I’ve ever had that I need to do something in English. I’ve come to agree with them because it is something that I’ve become deeply passionate about. So, please feel free to book an appointment with me,and I’ll be more than happy to help!

Sarah Grace Becker

Writing Assistant

Hi! I’m Sarah Grace, and I am a senior elementary education major. Some things I enjoy doing are singing in chorale, crocheting, cooking, and playing piano. On top of those, I really love literature, reading, and writing, which is why I hope to be an English teacher someday. I would love to help you with a writing assignment!
