⭐ Center for Excellence In Teaching and Learning

Located on the 3rd floor of the Mickel Library, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning offers academic support to assist students as they become independent, life-long learners, including tutoring and resources for student success strategies that are essential to supporting the classroom experience. The CETL is also a hub for faculty, centering on conversations about pedagogy in the classroom and the academic progress of students.

⭐ Writing Center

The Converse University Writing Center in Mickel Library, Room 204, offers writing support on papers at any point in the writing process. The center offers flexible support options, including online support, and provides live or written feedback on all forms of academic and creative writing. Peer Consultants help writers of all ability levels, from freshmen just starting out to seniors polishing a capstone project.

Students may come for help to get started, organize and develop ideas in a rough draft, use sources, or learn to recognize and correct errors in grammar and punctuation. The Writing Center does not proofread or “fix” papers. Instead, Peer Consultants help students learn better techniques for editing and improving their own work.
