We love to talk about writing!
Our Mission At the AQ Writing Center, our mission is to support members of the Aquinas community in their personal, academic, and professional writing. In one-on-one consulting sessions, we engage writers in dialogue that not only provides immediate feedback and strategies for their particular writing projects, but also contributes to their ongoing development as writers.
Our Philosophy The AQ Writing Center understands writing to be a process. We believe “good” writing is not a “gift” given to some individuals and denied others. It is, instead, a craft which individuals develop over time, and all writers – regardless of current skill level, writing experience, or academic discipline – benefit from receiving feedback from intelligent readers and engaging in conversations about their writing.
“Our job is to produce better writers, not better writing” –Stephen North, “The Idea of a Writing Center”
We place the emphasis on WRITER—the author, a person. We respect and value each person, each voice—and we strive to help writers develop. We like texts! Of course! But we prioritize the person over the page.
