Our Story 

Our Values

Collaboration: We believe writing is a social act that is made more meaningful when it is shared with an authentic audience such as a peer.
​
Inclusivity: We believe all students deserve a safe environment which welcomes and supports all kinds of writers, regardless of discipline, ability, or background.
Agency: We believe students should have the chance to own their writing processes and to express themselves ways they feel are most meaningful.
​
Growth: We believe that no one needs to be “fixed”. Instead, we believe each student has strengths they can build upon to be successful on any assignment.​

Our Story

In the spring of 2016, a group of fifteen freshman, sophomores, and juniors came together to start something new. Their vision was to create a student-led space where peers could collaborate over writing projects in a safe, judgement free space. Their vision gave birth to the Algonquin Writing Center.

Opened on December 5,  2016, the Algonquin Writing Center is available to all students working on any project at any stage of the writing process. Tutors are trained to provide individualized feedback to meet the needs of any writer who enters the center. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, the writing center is open to students who need a comfortable, creative environment to sit and write.
