The University of Wisconsin- La Crosse’s Writing Center
invites students to the very first Writing Center Pre-Finals Hunker.
The event offers students a concentrated, four-hour period
to work on papers due during finals week, says Writing Center
director, Virginia Crank. From 6-10 p.m. on May 7, students are welcome to utilize
the Writing Center tables and receive help from the available Writing Center
tutors.
“The Writing Center tutors have really helped me out in the
past. They can help with big concept ideas or even help identify grammar errors
throughout the paper,” says UWL sophomore Michelle Kilby.
Snacks and beverages will be provided as well as periodic
breaks for activities like stretching and playing games. Students who stay the
entire time are eligible to win a $25 gift card to MOKA.
“This event is not a social; it’s designated to be an
isolated time to finish papers,” says Crank. The periodic activities and the
chance to win a MOKA gift card are being used as an incentive for students to
stay the entire time to complete assignments.
Registration is required and is limited to 20 students. Sign
up by emailing writingcenter@uwlax.edu.
The Writing Center is located in 253 Murphy Library. The
event will happen in rooms 253 and 256 Murphy.

end of the semester can visit http://www.uwlax.edu/writingcenter/.
Walk-ins are welcome as well.
