OSU Writing Center

What We Do and Whom We Serve
We help you understand and practice many strategies effective writers use—from brainstorming to drafting to editing techniques.
The Oklahoma State Writing Center is here to serve the OSU community. We aim to develop effective communications regardless of skill level and background.

Writers

Here at the Writing Center at Oklahoma State University, we value and serve all writers at OSU. Our belief is that every writer, no matter the stage of their career or the stage of their writing, can benefit from having a conversation about writing with our tutors. The writers who make up our center are our own tutors, who are also OSU students, as well as the rest of the OSU population, such as faculty and staff members. 

Consultations

The Writing Center is a space of collaboration and embraces a relational-based pedagogy that focuses on the importance of peer tutoring. In the Writing Center, our tutors are also writers and readers you can trust to try out ideas on, to ask questions you’re grappling with, or to be a second pair of eyes to help refine your writing through discussions about clarity, syntax, and style. 

Our Tutors

are uniquely qualified to help.
The Oklahoma State University Writing Center is uniquely qualified to discuss writing at all stages and with all writers because we employ tutors from a variety of backgrounds. Our writing staff is comprised of English graduate students, Writing Across the Curriculum graduate students (WAC), and undergraduate students. Many of our graduate students are experienced instructors, researchers, leaders, and organizers. 

Community Engagement

The Oklahoma State University Writing Center collaborates with a variety of groups within the Stillwater community to bring free, educational programs to the public. Tutors have the opportunity to participate in community engagement programs, working with all age ranges and disciplines of writing. The program’s aims are to improve others’ literacy and professional development skills through writing center pedagogy. We encourage mutual respect and active listening for co-learning outcomes. Community engagement events are tailored to special interests or needs within the community, and bring value to the learning experience. We believe community engagement is meaningful and important work to create rewarding experiences for the volunteers and program participants through partnerships with schools, museums, libraries, and other community services and programs in Oklahoma.
