2013 Secondary School Writing Center Conference!

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Last Friday, our very own Wildcat Writing Center sent a group of tutors to represent Centreville at the 3rd Annual SSWC Conference at George Mason University.

This year, the theme was transformation and our tutors got the chance to learn just how other Writing Centers in this area had grown while sharing our own Writing Center's story as well.

What's even more exciting is that we had 3 groups of student presenters from Centreville who gave presentations about a variety of subjects such as the impact of tutors on the learning experience of a student and Tutor Session Icebreakers 101.

It is important, whenever participating in a program like this, to inquire and investigate how others with similar programs operate as well as learning new techniques and systems to help make our own run smoother. The information gathered by our WWC tutors will definitely help build a stronger Writing Center and we are all excited to put it all to use!



Here are some pictures from our trip!
Look at all those writers!
