Writing Skills Improvement Program WSIP

Writing Skills Improvement Program WSIP The Writing Skills Improvement Program has a carefully selected a staff of competent and committed instructional specialists/professional tutors.

The Writing Skills Improvement Program was established over 40 years ago to support writers as they develop their academic writing skills, make progress on their writing, and work to meet their writing goals. These staff members work one-on-one with students who want to make a sincere effort to improve their writing skills or have been referred to the program by their professors. The tutoring session is the heart of our program. The Writing Skills Improvement Program provides participating students with intensive help outside the classroom, help their professors simply do not have time to provide on a one-to-one basis. We have been called "the hidden jewel" by faculty in the College of Humanities. We offer sustained professional writing assistance across all major and degree programs.

One of WSIP's first and favorite programs was the summer institute for high school students.
