The Indiana State University Writing Center strives to help students become strong, independent writers through a variety of programs and services.  The consultations between students and Center staff, either face-to-face or online, work to enable students to learn productive habits in pre-writing activities, drafting, revising, editing, and incorporating research. 

Using directive and non-directive instructional techniques, the Center staff encourages students to do their own work, but to value consultation as a worthwhile part of composing.  The ultimate goal of the Center is to advance the skills of student writers and researchers.  When a student leaves the Writing Center, he or she will be further along in the process of producing a polished and professional piece of writing.   

The Center also strives to promote writing across the curriculum, serving students from all courses at all skill levels.  The Writing Center staff also makes presentations to classes about writing, research, and the Writing Center, while the Writing Center Coordinator and the Writing Center Secretary are available for consultations with faculty about designing assignments and integrating writing into non-English and Distance Learning courses.
