The Bilingual Writing Center (BWC) expands upon the English and Spanish Writing Center Pilot projects (EWC and SWC respectively) and the Writing in the Disciplines Initiative (WID) that began in 2005, 2007, and 2004 respectively. The BWC components have an emphasis in the development of writing as a professional and global skill. To meet the needs of the university student population, both the EWC and SWC effectively use peer tutoring to help students with their writing needs. Student tutors work with students on individual and group bases by providing one-on-one, group, and referral tutoring services to help students create coherent texts in all disciplines. Professors can elect to send individual students or groups to the Center for group tutoring whenever necessary. Both centers are viewed by students and faculty as useful mechanisms for writing help. T
