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!
WHAT TUTORS DO & DON'T DO

Please note that personal writing projects, such as novels and screenplays unrelated to senior capstone projects, are outside the scope of our services. We prioritize academic and creative assignments that are class-related at BLC, professional documents like résumés and cover letters, and graduate applications to ensure all students have fair access to appointments, especially those required by their courses. Submitting personal writing to the center will result in the faculty coordinator denying the submission. Thanks for understanding.
