  • Welcome to the Writing Center at Southeastern, where everyone is a writer, everything is an argument, and each is improved through revision. Mission: The Writing Center fosters a campus-wide culture of critical thinking and writing that plays a key role in how students and faculty create and communicate knowledge within academic and ministerial settings for the glory of Jesus Christ (Rom. 11:36). Staff: Planted in the library commons, the Writing Center consists of ten writing consultants—two English professors, two graduate students, and six college seniors—trained in Advanced Writing. Services: We offer personal appointments for assistance with the crafts, drafts, and conventions of composition for all writing projects; we frequent in instructive dialogue and feedback to help writers improve writing projects by improving critical skills, all in a manner that is respectful, friendly, and confidential. Perspective: We recognize that every essay and every writer is a work in progress, so we serve as supportive allies and candid critics encouraging progress by fostering full potential and creative energies toward desired outcomes. Resources: Many modes of help are available from popular guides and handout lessons to instructional videos; try starting with these: Introduction to the Writing Center (1:22) and How to Make an Appointment (1:38).
