The Gayle Morris Sweetland Center for Writing was established to ensure that all students who graduate from LSA have opportunities to learn to write well. The Center takes a comprehensive approach to its mission by offering courses, providing one-on-one tutoring for students, supporting faculty in developing courses that emphasize writing, and conducting research to develop the most effective methods for teaching writing.
Contributions both small and large will enable the Center to continue and expand its work. For example, $30 will add a book to the Sweetland library, $250 will enable a Peer Tutor to attend a conference, $3,000 will fund a summer intern, $350,000 will make it possible to renovate the Peer Tutoring Center in Angell Hall, and $1,000,000 will support an innovative program of integrating writing into introductory science classes.
