Collaboration Around Campus & Beyond

Robinson Hall
This is the main branch of the Writing Center, which is located on the Fairfax campus.

Enterprise Hall
The Writing Center keeps daily tutoring hours on the ground floor of Enterprise Hall in a space provided by the GMU School of Management.  School of Management students are encouraged to make use of this site by making appointments online in advance.  Should any appointment slots remain at the beginning of the day, scheduling at Enterprise become “same-day sign up”—students (outside of the School of Management) may sign up for a session later in that day or drop in if there is an opening.

Arlington Campus
This branch of the Writing Center aims to serve students at the Arlington campus.  It offers the same tutoring and workshop benefits as the Robinson location.  Students schedule appointments online for this location as well. 

Prince William Campus
This branch of the Writing Center aims to serve students at the Prince William Campus.  It offers the same tutoring and workshop benefits as the Robinson location.  Students schedule appointments online as for this location as well. 

On-Site Research Paper Workshops
The Writing Center runs on average four in-house workshops to help with various aspects of writing research papers.  The workshops titles include:  How to Evaluate Document and Site Sources, How and When to Summarize, Paraphrase & Quote your Research, Making Your Research Paper Flow, and Personal Statements.

Peer Tutors.

Writing Fellows In some cases, peer tutors will be specifically assigned to professors across the curriculum who request a “writing fellow,” a peer tutor assigned specifically to one class in order to help those students with their writing.  These assignments are often made at the tutor’s initiative, and seek to strengthen the Writing Center’s commitment to campus-wide collaboration and WAC.

Online Writing Lab (OWL)
The Online Writing Lab allows students, alumni, faculty and staff to take advantage of the Writing Center’s one on one tutoring approach from anywhere they have access to the internet.

GMU Review, Phoebe & So to Speak 
The Writing Center acts as a distribution point for three GMU journals: the George Mason Review, a yearly publication filled with exemplary essays drawn from George Mason students; Phoebe, GMU’s national literary review of fiction and poetry; and So to Speak, GMU’s national literary review of feminist fiction, nonfiction and poetry.
