Writing centers (WC) serve as an indisputably useful campus resource that serves a broad group of students and faculty. With their role of helping individuals at any and all stages of the writing process, they prove that all writing skills can be supported and grown through visit(s) Though as proved by existing scholarship – which serves as the foundation for this project – from the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Peer Writing Tutor Alumni Research Project (PWTARP) designed by Harvey Kail, Paula Gillespie, and Bradley Hughes as well as Florida International University’s version of PWTARP titled “Writing Tutor Alumni Takeaways: Pros and Cons of Contingency” developed by Glenn Hutchinson, Xuan Jiang, and Mario Avalos, employees can also benefit similarly to visitors. WCs have been proven to be advantageous places of employment because of the long-term skills provided from assisting diverse groups of individuals. The University of Nebraska at Omaha’s (UNO) Writing Center has served the student population for nearly two decades and has similar advantages for their employees; with support from an IRB-approved Qualtrics survey (0628-25-EX) that collected anonymous qualitative research, this research affirms this sentiment.
