Starting Feb. 18, the Adawe Center at OU has instituted a drop-in writing center for students to improve their writing skills. Tutors and Adawe advisors help with this program.
Sophomore Ashlyn Hermann, a tutor for the center, is excited to be a part of it.
“Each week the group of tutors are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help with students that drop by and need assistance,” she said.
Adawe advisor William Towns said he wants to offer help to any student on campus.
“We want to offer writing help in particular,” he said. “There are a lot of students out there that need help with papers that are due and also general tutoring.”
Teresa Kriley is another Adawe advisor who helps with the drop-in center.
“The drop-in writing center is an exciting addition to the services provided to students by the Adawe LifePlan Center,” Kriley said.
The creation of the drop-in center has been a long time coming.
“The idea has been floating around for awhile,” Towns said. “One of the things we have ascertained about students is that they struggle with research and writing assignments. We want to direct students and help them complete any paper they are working on.”
Kriley said she and the other Adawe staff wanted to create more opportunities for students.
“The idea for the writing center came from a desire to expand the services offered by the Adawe Center to meet student needs,” she said.
Towns said he believes the drop-in center is very beneficial.
“We need to study and see the help that students need,” he said. “We want to grow this center and make it more of a vital part of students’ lives.”
“Many students come to college with anxiety about writing papers. This drop-in center gives students the chance to feel more comfortable and the ability to improve their writing skills.”
Hermann said students often have anxiety about writing papers, and this will give students a chance to get more comfortable and improve their writing ability.
“I would encourage students by telling them that they should not be intimidated to come into the writing center and ask for help,” she said. “The writing center is an informal set up for students to receive assistance.”
