It is our pleasure to welcome all students and faculty to the Chaffey College Writing Center.  Our central mission is to help students become more effective and more confident writers.  As an integral part of across-the-curriculum writing instruction on this campus, the Writing Center exists to help students improve their ability to communicate on paper in whatever discipline they are following.  The Writing Center's philosophy is that writing is a process (i.e., a continuous act of thinking, drafting, revising, rewriting, and editing).  Using this concept as a foundation, Writing Center instructors and tutors help student writers improve their skills by teaching them strategies that take them through each stage of the writing process.  Some of the tasks a tutor might help a student accomplish include selecting a topic, generating ideas, developing and revising working drafts, dealing with issues of style, and acquiring proofreading and editing skills.

Writing Center instructors and tutors do not dictate content, edit, proofread, or co-author student papers, nor do they predict what sort of grade an assignment might earn.
