The BSC Writing Center is committed to improving
student writing across the curriculum. We tutor students in
every stage of the writing process, from generating ideas and writing
initial drafts to revising and editing their own work. We also
tutor students of every skill level. In addition to providing
individual attention in helping students to improve their writing,
the Writing Center promotes writing across the BSC campus through
workshops, contests, visiting writers, and other writing-related
activities.
