Mission Statement: In service to Avila University’s mission to prepare lifelong learners, the Writing Center cultivates attentive writing practices through one-on-one in-person consultations with dedicated peer tutors.
Welcome to the Writing Center!
FREE help from experienced tutors with any writing project, at any stage of writing.
Located inside the Hooley-Bundschu Library & Learning Commons, the Writing Center hosts free online and in-person tutoring consultations for all Avila students – undergraduate, graduate, and Institute. We can assist with brainstorming, revising, and formatting course papers; drafting resumes and cover letters; and preparing for presentations. Our goal is to help writers better understand their own process and develop as thinkers and communicators. We offer in-person and online consultations five days a week. Schedule an appointment through Navigate, WritingCenter@avila.edu, or walk in during in-person hours. We look forward to your visit!
