Does your school have a writing center? Any other kind of place where students can get tutoring? Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas does, and traffic in the center is booming right before finals. Smart students. Danielle Stroud wrote about the busy-ness for The University Leader, the school's online paper.
The Writing Center is located in Forsyth Library and offers students free, individual help "on all stages of writing."
"Our busiest time of the season varies with time and due dates," said professor Pamela Shaffer, director of the writing center.
Mike Gilmore is a non-traditional student at Hays. He has a degree in Communications and is back in school for another in English. He helps out at the writing center.
This is a cool idea. Whether you're a student needing help or one who is able and willing to help, see if your school has a writing or tutoring center. If it doesn't, it would sure look great on your resume if you helped create one.

This is a really good idea. The college in my area, Western Kentucky University, has a great Writing Center too. It is totally free, and also offers tutoring. I think more people would use it if they knew about it, too. Thank you for letting people know about that.
