Academic Resource CenterThe Wingate University Academic Resource Center (ARC) is dedicated to helping students meet their academic goals. Within the ARC, students will find the offices of Academic Advising, the Wingate 101 program, disability services and the tutoring program. Students are encouraged to make use of the many services available through the ARC. The Writing Center (Opening Fall 2008)The Writing Center at Wingate University strives to help students, faculty, staff, and alumni grow into better writers. Our focus is on the individual writer and his or her needs; our goal is to encourage them to become “better, more confident writers” rather than simply producing “better writing.” The Writing Center’s methods are collaborative and reflect our respect for the individual writer. Our tutors encourage writers to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to understand how and why revisions are made. Updated August 14, 2008 |
