Welcome to the CSUSB Writing Centers!
We'll work collaboratively with you at any stage of your writing process, on any kind of writing. You can work with us in-person or via Zoom. Most writers make appointments to guarantee themselves a set time, but you can also drop in either in-person or via Zoom when we have an opening. We mostly work with writers one-to-one, but we also work with small groups working on group writing projects.
You can see our schedule of availability and sign up for an appointment by clicking the blue "appointments" button on this page or following this link to our schedule: https://csusb.mywconline.com/

More About the Writing Center
The CSUSB Writing Centers conduct one-to-one student writing conferences and facilitate workshops with faculty members in a variety of campus classrooms. Students come to work on writing projects for a wide variety of courses across the university. They also work with us on personal writing projects including graduate school applications, personal statements, resumes, cover letters, and even creative writing. Our writing consultants are graduate and undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines.
Writing consultants work with writers at all stages of the composing process, working collaboratively to interpret assignments, discover topics, expand ideas, clarify organization, incorporate counter-arguments, cite references, edit, and proofread. Several consultants work specifically with multilingual writers as they negotiate linguistic and cultural differences in written composition; these consultants also conduct informal English conversation groups for multilingual speakers. Writing Center staff work with faculty members who are designing and evaluating writing components of their courses, in addition to conducting writing workshops in those faculty members' classrooms, and reading and responding to manuscripts in preparation.
In all situations, Writing Center staff write with writers, never for them. They work to preserve the integrity of writers' ideas and plans, even as they challenge writers to interrogate and contextualize both their own and others' ideas, language, and sources.
You can visit us in CE 310, peruse our website, connect with us via Zoom, or email us at WritingCenter@csusb.edu for more information.
