Dr. Shannin Schroeder, Director of the SAU Writing Center
Dr. Shannin Schroeder, English faculty member and Director of the SAU Writing Center visited the Honors Seminar class. Accompanying her were a current honors student, Morgan Johnson, and 2013 honors grad Majesta Miles, who will soon serve as the Center's graduate assistant.
Schroeder spoke to both classes about the work of the Center saying that it existed for writers of any stripe writing any kind of material for any kind of project or class.
The Center is open Monday-Thursday 8 to 8, Friday 8 to 1, and Sunday from 3 to 8 (pm). Walk ins are welcome. Students with tight schedules may also schedule times for consultation.
Consultations are only conducted by trained students. Schroeder noted that interpersonal skills were the number one requirement to become a writing consultant. She added that, often, the best writers do not make the best consultants.
Schroeder believed one measure of the Center's success was that many students were "repeat customers." She also invited everyone listening to attend the Writing Center's Open House on Wednesday, October 2. She assured her audiences that lots of chocolate would be available at the Open House.
