The center collaborates with programs across campus \u2014 from Digital Liberal Arts to the Pre-Health Career Workshop Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whiddon in particular pointed to his colleagues&#8217; growing enthusiasm for course-embedded assistance for students. &#8220;I\u2019m quite excited by the recent faculty interest in the ways that Writing Center work can be more deeply connected to specific classes and course goals,&#8221; he said. After getting additional training, course-embedded staffers serve students in a single course section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another new development \u2014 this one in response to the pandemic \u2014 is online writing assistance. &#8220;Our program had to quickly learn how the skills we practice every day as collaborators, active listeners and creative thinkers could transition to online environments; we also had to learn to recognize, both in our patrons and in ourselves, the ever-changing challenges of learning in this moment,&#8221; Whiddon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing Center staffers have also been developing themselves as researchers as they present work at various conferences and other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they&#8217;re being honored for their efforts. &#8220;We\u2019ve been lucky to have two staffers recognized with Southeastern Writing Center Association Undergraduate Tutor Awards, and multiple staffers have won SWCA Christine Cozzens Research and Initiative Grants\/Awards,&#8221; Whiddon said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They\u2019re some of the best folks I know, indeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
