It's day 3 of International Writing Centers Week. As I finished what was supposed to be a brief post about where I stand on AI in WC practice, I realized I'm not unlike the student who enthusiastically pens an essay for the wrong assignment. #iwcw25

We polled writing center alums re: how WC work shaped their lives on campus and beyond. Initial coding suggests powerful patterns across their response. On day 2 of International WCs week, share how your WC practice has impacted your "life outside" the center. #IWCW2025

There’s a lot at stake in #Michigan this year -- We aren’t just voting for President. There are a ton of local races on the ballot too & they have a huge impact on our daily lives. I’m committed to voting for candidates who share my values. #HeartNotHate social.redwine.blue/s/1F3GS8…

It's International Writing Centers Week! As IWCA president and a WC director, I encourage WC people from all over the world to map their centers and to share pictures of their people. Here are a few members of the Oakland U WC morning crew wishing you a "Happy Monday." #IWCW24 – at Auburn Hills, MI
Consider this sage advice from SI Leader Lisa Bell when considering priorities: "If this isn't working, me leaning into it harder isn't going to make it work." #IWCASI2023

Sometimes writing center consultants spend so much time coaching others' texts that we defer our own. Thankfully, Drs. Ellen Celil-Lemkin & Jennifer Conrad have offered us a session to write collaboratively.#IWCW23 #IWCACollab23
As an alum, I just want to send a virtual hug to the Michigan State University community. Please know that I am grieving with you. I will do more than grieve, but I will defer my activism against gun violence on college campuses for a near future date.
