Writing is something everyone at Hiram College takes seriously. Almost every course incorporates writing. The Hiram College Writing Center exists to support the school’s comprehensive commitment to writing. Students in all courses are encouraged to bring papers to the Writing Center at any stage in the writing process for feedback.
Twenty-five writing assistants work in the Writing Center to help Hiram students with papers and writing assignments. The Center is open throughout the week, with afternoon and evening hours almost every day.
“I had heard that Hiram was a big writing school, but never thought much about what that would mean. Now, I understand that the writing here is truly all-encompassing. There is no escaping it. I did not intend on avoiding it, but did not plan on honing it as my craft. Now, I ask myself what I am writing, why I am writing, and how it can be better said. In short, I care.” – A first year student reviewing her paper
