The Margaret H. Ordoubadian University Writing Center provides a relaxed, yet professional atmosphere in which writers from across the curriculum can become more comfortable with processes of writing.  Our primary goal is to foster independent writers who are capable of recognizing and capitalizing on their strengths as well as identifying and correcting their weaknesses.  In addition, we want to help our graduate Writing Assistants become better teachers by exposing them to writers at all levels and a variety of syllabi and paper assignments.  We understand literacy as a set of social practices and see the writing center as a vibrant learning community on campus; therefore, we encourage all of our staff to cultivate relationships—with faculty and students—that will enrich their learning experiences and their writing in particular.  The University Writing Center wants to provide timely, relevant support for instructors, and we want to inspire the larger MTSU community with our love of language and learning.
