Other Information
History
The writing center started in the mid-seventies with a CETA Grant and operated in Coughlin Hall, in the English Department. Still housed in the English Department, we moved first to Monitor Hall. In 2003 we moved to the Raynor Library.
In 1987, the family of Norman H. Ott endowed the writing center, in memory of Norman's great love of poetry. They hoped to foster writing of all kinds at Marquette.
Events
Thanks to the endowment, the writing center sponsor writing events each year, from local poetry readings to visiting lecturers and writing conferences.
Resources
Thanks to the endowment, the writing center keeps its computer equipment and furnishings up to date so that students can come in and print or conference at the computers. Writers also use the computers to find research sources at the library or on the internet.
