Hello SSW Community!
As we navigate the new year and all that’s to come, we at the Writing Center want to remind you that writing is a powerful tool we can utilize in advocating for ourselves and our communities, calling folks in, and creating the change we want to see in the world. In the words of the great James Baldwin “You write in order to change the world … if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it”. It is an honor to be your tutors and peers in this work and we are here to support your writing journey in any way we can, including personal or community projects. Don’t hesitate to book an in-person or virtual 50-minute session with a writing tutor today!
