While you were off-campus for winter break, we uploaded the open-access December 2023 issue of WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship.
OUR DECEMBER 2023 WLN:
In this issue you’ll find Jacob Herrmann’s account of how his writing center created a diversity statement viewed as a form of coming out. After detailing her study of four writing centers’ use of social media, Amanda May concludes by offering five considerations for writing center personnel contemplating the use of social media. For those whose tutors attend ESOL classes as peer group facilitators, Anastasia Kryzhanivska, Fernanda Capraro, and Kimberly Spallinger describe their pilot program and the conclusions they reached about benefits of such a program as well as ways to improve it. For tutors who work with creative writers, Sean Tyler, a tutor and fine arts major, writes about working through her anxieties in tutoring such writers. (https://wac.colostate.edu/wln/#gsc.tab=0 )
