Welcoming a New Semester from a New Location

A glorious summertime at the beach must recede to memory as fall begins anew with a return to literature and essays and thoughts of grammar. I’m ready to enjoy a fresh start, a new semester. To emphasize the beginning of a new academic year, the Stone Writing Center is up and running in a brand new location: the 4th floor of the White Library on the East Campus of Del Mar College. We welcome returning students and students who are attending Del Mar College for the first time this fall with hopes that all will visit the SWC. The 4th floor of the White Library provides a spacious, inviting environment in which to conduct the many services that the SWC offers.  

Students who have already visited the SWC report that their writing does improve, along with their grades, because they find here the opportunity to discuss their papers with Writing Consultants who know and love writing and can assist students with the process of writing. In addition to in-person advice about writing, the SWC also provides computers for students to use, Boot Camps for any who have questions about grammar, on-line tutoring, and one-hour labs. Student Assistants at the SWC are happy to answer questions and to schedule appointments.

All of us are here to make your college experience more productive, more enjoyable and even easier. Call (361) 698-1364 or come by the 4^th floor of the White Library to find a warm and friendly atmosphere which is conducive to creativity, a place where writing becomes one of the best of your college experiences, as it should be.

Don’t forget to read a few blogs, too, ones posted previously and more to come this semester. Information about grammar and writing may not be quite as much fun as surfing the waves and relaxing on the beach, but it has its moments.

See you next time the breeze is cool, the sun is up, and the waves roll into view! ‘Til then, hang ten!
