Student-Centered Support

In partnership with the Writing Center, the library, and the Center for Academic Support & Enrichment, Peay Composed will host midsemester writing drop-in events to support student writing. These events will be strategically scheduled during the semester to help students with upcoming writing assignments. These are intended to be relaxing, fun, celebratory events providing effective, just-in-time drop-in support for students writing. Writing drop-in events will include refreshments, raffles, and door prizes. Keep a look out for the dates and times of these events!
