Come Work With Us in the Writing Center!
Writing Consultants at USCA’s Writing Center work one-on-one with fellow students to provide advice, resources, and support for writing across the disciplines. You don’t have to be a “perfect” writer to be the perfect person for the job.

[UofSC Aiken Writing Center @USCAWritingCtr]

We are hiring enthusiastic, helpful people from all disciplines for Fall 2021. Tutors must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, an A or B in English 101 and 102 (or equivalent courses), two faculty references, and a writing sample.

Favorite typo of the day:
Bologna Amputation

Pretty sure it was supposed to read "below knee amputation."

Don't be that person. No one likes that person.

Just because someone doesn't grammar to your expectations doesn't mean their arguments aren't valid.

Good writing is about more than just there/their/they're. We are here for you, and we are not grammar jerks. Promise.

Words always matter. If we change how we talk about concepts, then we are actively changing how we think about them and how we react to them as a culture.

Pop quiz for South Carolina (land o' peaches! don't cross us, Georgia!):

What is the correct response to someone shriek-singing "PEACHES COME FROM A CAN?"

If you get it right, come to the Writing Center for a prize. (No, we will not mail it to you.)

[Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama]

A good way to tell elder millennials from younger ones is to shriek-sing “PEACHES COME FROM A CAN” at them and see what happens
