All You Need Is a Little Push

Many students who attend South Carolina State are oblivious to the amazing resources that the campus offers. Guys, I'm here to tell you there's much more than going to class and the pit !

A necessary academic strength of the college environment is the ability to write a paper. You'd be surprised that some math professors assign written assignments!

 Papers are essential to surviving college, and many students aren't equipped with the right tools to construct one. What if there was a student service that provides these tools ?

Here lies the PUSH Writing Center. The writing center is located on the 3rd of Turner Hall A Wing and it is supervised by Dr. Pinson . The writing center offers one on one tutoring sessions that are 30 minutes long. The sessions are geared towards assisting students with how to write and edit a paper versus writing the paper for them.

Me and my classmates were able to have a great discussion with Dr. Pinson. She emphasized why she values her teaching career and her dreams for the writing center.

Dr. Pinson told us, "My passion is my students. Whatever we can do to help them succeed is what we should do."

She also expressed that she wants to expand the size of the writing center in order to create a more convenient workspace.

 Pinson said, "I just want to knock down this wall and have two sides to the writing center."

The area already has a computer lab section, however an additional section for strictly writing would be even better.

Tutors that work in the PUSH Writing Center must qualify for a work study before they are added to the team. Once they have passed this phase, a portion of the semester is spent being trained on how to assist students with their writing assignments.

If you ever find yourself struggling with anything writing related, make a visit to the PUSH Writing Center. Students and professor are dedicated to helping you succeed as a scholar and writer at SC State.
