Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens at the writing center on Faculty/Staff Fridays?
A: A whole lot of writing! The idea behind the event is that by setting aside time to write away from the interruptions of your home or office, and in a space conducive to writing, you will actually get some writing done. The silent support of hard working colleague-writers around you is motivating. And the writing center has what you need--style guides, books about writing, a faculty/staff writing consultant, food, and beverages--to keep you productive and comfortable.
Q. Can I come late or leave early?
A. Absolutely!
Q. Do I need to make a reservation?
A. Nope! Just show up ready to write.
Q. Can't we just have Faculty/Staff Fridays every Friday?
A. Maybe so. We've just started this program. If it takes off, we might expand it next semester.
Q. Why don't you hold mini-writing retreats on other days, or at the downtown campus?
A. We're piloting this program and might be able to expand it. However, our downtown writing center space is not appropriate to a writing retreat. And all our locations are very busy with student writers throughout the week. Friday afternoon is the quietest, least busy time in the Allendale center--perfect for writing.
Q. I can't fit Fridays into my schedule this semester. Will you do this next semester?
A. So far, signs point to "yes," but watch this page for more info.
