Writing Center Experience Survey

In an effort to continuously improve our academic resources, we are soliciting feedback on our Writing Center located in the Student Center in Canvas. We have created a very short survey on your use and knowledge of the Writing Center and would appreciate any response you can provide. We take our writing efforts and tutoring seriously and hope to use this feedback to create an even better writing resource for students. Please take a few moments to complete the survey. Your feedback will guide our efforts, so it is much appreciated. Please let us know if you have questions. If you would like to email feedback directly to the writing team, please do so at: writingsupport@sans.edu.
Thank you!
