SUNY Cortland is an academic community dedicated to diverse learning experiences. Students grow as engaged citizens with a strong social conscience fostered by outstanding teaching, scholarship and service.
At the Cortland Writing Center, we believe writing is a process of invention, drafting, and revision that happens in sometimes linear, sometimes circular ways. We recognize that each individual approaches this process differently, and we value those differences and strive to work with them -- helping writers develop their own abilities in ways that foster success. We also believe that, while every writer is an individual, writing does not take place in isolation; we value the benefits that conversation, feedback, and collaboration can have for the writing process. Whether brainstorming for an essay, negotiating new and different rhetorical situations and genre expectations, or just looking for a new perspective about a piece of writing, our writing consultants are happy to talk with any writer about any writing at any stage of the process. Ultimately, at the Writing Center, our goal is to provide a supportive, comfortable, and safe environment where, through thoughtful response and facilitation, we help writers develop as they develop their writing.
