Mission

The Writing Consulting program at Albion College supports student writing across all majors and levels. We believe that the purpose of talking about writing is not to find and fix errors but to explore writers’ ideas, motivations, and challenges, and to provide insights, suggestions, and strategies to help writers achieve their goals.
