Mission Statement
The College of Southern Nevada Writing Center offers students cross-curricular writing assistance with an emphasis on promoting student autonomy within the writing process. The Writing Center is a place where students from all disciplines and at all levels can come and discuss their work with a trained Writing Assistant. Assistants serve as student allies and will help students with any phase in the writing process, from idea generation, through organization to final revision. The Writing Center is not an editing service; however, Writing Assistants will help students produce quality written essays, research papers, resumes, personal statements and required assignments by providing techniques and strategies that foster academic independence in student writing. The Writing Center’s mission is to help students acquire the practices necessary for effective written communication at the college the level and beyond.
