Center for Writing is available to help with final papers

Working on final papers? Let the consultants at the Center for Writing help you.

The center is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to noon Fridays in Room 361, John R. Roach Center for the Liberal Arts, and 6 to 9 p.m. Sundays in O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center.

During exam week, the Center for Writing will be open Monday through Thursday; open hours will depend on consultant availability. Call to check the schedule and make an appointment at (651) 962-5601.

The Center for Writing provides one-on-one conferences for you before you write, as you write and after you write. The center will work with you for any course or writing project, and at any stage of the writing process so that you may develop strong, long-term approaches to your reading, writing, and critical thinking.

More information about the Center for Writing can be found online at www.stthomas.edu/writing. The web site includes “Resources for Writers” and “Ask a Consultant.”
