About The Writing Center
The MEF Writing Center, part of the MEF Center for Research and Best Practices in Learning and Teaching (CELT), is a place for students from any discipline, academic level or ability to get support with their writing, from specific assignments to general writing skills. The tutors support students through the writing process to become better writers by helping them identify their strengths and weaknesses. The Writing Center is dedicated to modernizing its student services by adopting a flipped approach to the student session experience by creating online mini-lessons that students can complete before sessions and through research on educational technology and writing center theory and practice.
