Writing Center
Writing Center consultants assist students with writing tasks from all disciplines and during all stages of the writing process. Individualized service and extensive writer participation during tutorials enable students to become more skillful writers.
Resources include a lending library of style manuals, handbooks, dictionaries, and workbooks. Computers and printers are also available for use during regular operating hours.
Hours vary by semester. Writing Center services are free of charge to all Fisher students. To make an appointment, visit https://tutortrac.sjfc.edu. "Walk-ins" are welcome but subject to consultant availability. The Writing Center is located on the top floor of the Academic Gateway.

Writing Center Mission Statement
The mission of the St. John Fisher College Writing Center is to support writing at all levels of post-secondary education. Our goals are to teach writing as a thinking and revising process by intervening in that process according to the requests and needs of the individual student writer; to support and promote students' entry into the academic discourse community; to provide opportunities for student tutors to grow as writers through the teaching of writing to others; to act as a resource for faculty interested in extending writing across the curriculum.
