Hello again!
I hope you are having a wonderful start to the fall semester! My name is Alexis Pitchford, and I am a full-time professional writing specialist at the Purdue OWL. I am reaching out to see if you can help by reflecting on last academic year and completing the 2024-2025 Writing Centers Research Project (WCRP) Survey. The instrument is the only one that IWCA sponsors, and its data extends back to 2000 when Carol Mattingly at the University of Louisville administered it. If you have already completed the survey, thank you so much!
If you filled out the survey in previous years, I can retrieve your response so you can autofill and update your answers for this year’s survey, making the process even quicker and easier! Just let me know, and I can send you the link. Or, if nothing has changed since the last time you took the survey, that’s okay too! Just let me know, and I can copy over your results for the 2024-2025 survey.
I know it’s a long survey with lots of questions that might require you to think or dig up information. I recommend you download the PDF copy of the current survey found on this page https://owl.purdue.edu/research/writing_centers_research_project_survey.html in order to prepare to complete the survey and gauge the kind of survey questions you will be answering. At this link you can also check out the survey results from previous years.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me back at writing.lab
Thank you,
Alexis Pitchford
