Hello, University of Michigan-Flint, and welcome back for the Winter 2019 semester!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Whiteboard art compliments of Laura, Tutor at MEW<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The Marian E. Wright Writing Center is open again, and we\u2019ve made a few changes since you last saw us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Schedule: our hours have changed, and we\u2019re now open on Sundays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our new hours are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday – Thursday              9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Friday                                    9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Saturday                                 Closed
Sunday                                  2 p.m. – 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
New Tutors<\/strong>: We\u2019ve hired seven new tutors, bringing our total number up to 21. These new recruits studied the art of tutoring with Dr. Jacob Blumner in ENG 363\/563 last semester, and shadowed in the writing center every week. Practicing in the center under the watch of their mentors, these students honed the skills they needed to become effective tutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you would like to join the M.E.W. Writing Center<\/strong> staff as a tutor, click here<\/a> to learn how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Walk-ins welcome!<\/strong> We\u2019re now able to accommodate walk-in appointments Monday – Thursday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.<\/strong> Whether you need some last minute help, or just ran into some unexpected free-time, take the time to stop by for a quick session. Keep in mind that during high-traffic times like midterms and finals, a walk-in appointment may not always be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can schedule appointments <\/strong>on our website<\/strong><\/a> to make sure we are ready for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Online Tutor Chats<\/strong>: Can\u2019t make time to stop by the writing center, but have quick questions about writing, assignments, or ideas? Beginning Jan. 14th, we\u2019ll be hosting live tutor chats every Monday and Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.<\/strong> Once you join, you can use a microphone and\/or camera to ask questions, brainstorm, develop ideas, and more. Click <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a> to join our chatroom<\/strong> on bluejeans.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
We wish you good luck with the upcoming semester, and encourage you to stop by the writing center whether you need help with an upcoming assignment, or just want a friend to bounce ideas off of. You can follow our <\/strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a> accounts for more news and updates. We hope to see you soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
