This week at the Writing Center, we have recorded that we are functioning at 79% capacity, and two weeks prior, we were at 88-98% at any given point in the day. The reason for the lull? Midterms are over!
Yesterday, we participated in a Student Services Scavenger Hunt that was designed to help students, particularly freshmen, get acclimated to the campus. If the students made it to all the destinations in the scavenger hunt, they got to submit their name in a drawing to win a mini-laptop computer. We decorated our door with Hawaiian themed decor and adorned a desk for the scavenger hunt helpers with leis and handed out bubble gum. A good time was had by all!
Right now, we're preparing for the National Day of Writing on October 20, 2009. We will be hosting a Writing at the Center, which is a creative writer's open forum traditionally held once a month at the Writing Center on Sundays, but will be held at the Farrington Pit at 12:30 pm on that day. We look forward to hearing the poets and fiction writers of campus share their work, and hope to see many more folks out, just to enjoy the lyrical lines! Yours Truly even plans to present some of her own poetry, much to her own dismay. (eep!) After that, from 2:00 to 4:00, the Writing Center will host an open reception for faculty and staff to come and meet the tutors and discuss fun, nerdy things like academic writing! :) We'll update more about how the National Day of Writing goes next week.
Until next time, keep on keepin' on, folks.
