Located in the same space and working closely with the
Tutoring Center, the Writing Center was established to provide support to
the Writing Across the Curriculum program. The mission of the Pikeville
College Writing Center (WC) is based on the belief that clear and concise
writing reflects the ability to think clearly and express thoughts
precisely, something our students should demonstrate before they graduate.
To that end, the WC supports writing in all disciplines during all
four years of college. The Center provides free tutorial service to
students enrolled in any courses offered by the college and supports
faculty with workshops, materials, and ideas for writing assignments in
content areas. With the help of peer writing consultants, students who
come for help will be better writers, will have more confidence in their
own abilities, and most importantly, will develop more positive attitudes
toward writing. We then produce students who, as educated readers and
writers, look for connections among all of their life’s pursuits and the
world around them. With constant feedback from faculty and students, the
Writing Center demonstrates on our campus the crucial position of writing
in the academy.
The Center is located in Allara 013.
Please check with us to see our current hours of operation.
Peer writing consultants, trained in helping student writers,
