A message from the Director of the FLA Writing Center
The study and practice of writing is fundamental to a liberal arts education. Our aim is to help you develop your academic literacy skills and to assist you in becoming more effective and confident writers and communicators in academic contexts. As such, the focus of the center is to develop sustainable writing skills through interactive, collaborative, and individual tutorials and workshops with peer tutors. Whether you are working on a paper or revising one you have already finished, you can meet with a tutor and receive constructive feedback on your work. Our tutors are trained to assist you in all of the steps of the writing process. We also offer a number of workshops every semester that focus on specific areas of academic writing and communication. We hope that you will continue to use this excellent resource to develop your academic writing needs throughout your time at Sophia University.
