Midwest Writing Centers Association Conference 2009
Dr. Rebecca Taylor Fremo and students Rebekah Schulz, Alison Oppenheimer, Kaitie O'Bryan, and Debi Lasswell traveled to the Midwest Writing Centers Association 2009 Conference in South Dakota's beautiful Black Hills. Our intrepid Gustavus participants presented a panel describing writing center challenges at a small liberal arts college. The Gustavus panelists then invited other conference participants to offer and discuss possible solutions. Topics covered included tutoring senior theses, special needs tutoring, our Designated Tutor program, and the challenges of preparing undergraduates to often work in very specialized ways--at the GAC Writing Center.
