Writing Center Talking Points

So I come into to my first day of work, and surprise! I've got to run a workshop on my first day back in six months. I panicked a bit but it wasn't really a big deal. Basically, I have to give an introduction to the Writing Center.

It's a great resource (not to mention it works with my plan B if I have to leave the program).

Here are the talking points for the "workshop"
Arrive at 6, welcome, introduce self:
We are all students at TESC, as we believe that working with peers best facilitates writing growth.
This is the Center, Writing Center QuaSAR, hours (M –Th 11-8, Friday and Sunday 12-5, closed 3-5 on Monday)
A way to support and grow your academic and creative work
What happens in a session (five minutes)
• 25-50 minutes
• Bring anything, but bring something, if nothing else, an open mind
Now that you know why you should set up an appointment, here is the how
• Call
• Drop in
• Cancel if you can’t make it, it’s only polite
Weekly is better, establish relationship, don’t have to do getting to know you all the time. Most gratifying working relationship I’ve had.
We look forward to seeing you here!

Well, I gave the "workshop" (twenty minute ad) and it went well. What a charming class it was. Fortunately, the faculty had heard the spiel often enough that she was able to fill in the blanks that I missed. I forgot to say that we do any kind of writing, silly me!

All in all, for my first day back in six months, I think I did alright.
