Mission Statement

Utah State University Writing Center Mission Statement and Goals

The Utah State University Writing Center provides a positive and inclusive environment for USU students to improve their communication skills. We collaborate with writers and communicators of all levels, on all subjects, and through all stages of writing. During our one-with-one tutoring sessions, we ask questions, explore ideas, research solutions, practice writing concepts, and build connections. We believe writing isn’t just a thing we do, but an extension of everything we do.

Our goals include:

• Building on writers’ strengths and empowering them to express their ideas
• Providing an open, fun space where learning among tutors and writers is reciprocal
• Facilitating growth and development throughout all stages of the writing process
• Promoting academic inquiry, critical thinking, and the expression of diversity
• Upholding the USU English Department’s commitment to inclusive excellence.
