Writing and Reading Center Mission

The Writing and Reading Center follows the facilitative reading and writing centered tutoring model to help students achieve competence in areas of reading and writing. The WRC’s focus is to enable students to develop their reading and writing skills and to provide students with strategies to negotiate different reading and writing tasks. It also helps students become more linguistically-conscious, independent student thinkers who can better execute their reading and writing tasks in various disciplines and situations with better precision and awareness of their audience. The Writing and Reading Center plays a vital role in serving the tutoring needs of all developmental students beyond their developmental reading and writing classes. It also provides the instructional support needed to all LU students throughout their matriculation to further assist in increasing retention and graduation rates.

The WRC’s academic services support Lincoln University’s rigorous liberal arts education model as it prepares, educates, and empowers students to lead their communities and change the world. The WRC also supports the different academic and co-curricular programs, while advancing Lincoln University’s distinctive legacy of global engagement, social responsibility, and leadership development and promoting the character, values, and standards of excellence needed to enable our students to become responsible citizens of a global community.
