MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Ada Stokes Writing Center is to help BLC students develop as independent critical thinkers and writers. Our friendly tutors offer support with academic essays, creative writing, cover letters, résumés, and graduate applications. They are dedicated to guiding students through the writing process, including understanding assignments, brainstorming, composing thesis statements and topic sentences, integrating sources, drafting, revising, and even line editing. We also offer free coffee and hot chocolate. Pop by!
