= Welcome to The Missouri State Writing Center Wiki =

Hello and welcome! This wiki is designed so that Writing Center consultants, volunteers, receptionists, the Writing Center Committee, and interested others can access and contribute to the Writing Center's body of knowledge.

The primary function of this wiki (for now) is to house a digital version of the Writing Center Consultant Handbook. Consultants and others are welcome and encouraged to contribute to this handbook, as it is an important tool in consultant training and development and should benefit from as many different perspectives as possible.

In the near future, regular columns will feature an analysis of Writing Center statistics, a description of upcoming events and presentations to various departments and organizations, training links, and a breakdown of my activities and research. This Wiki will also include short articles from the writing consultants regarding their work with students. Perhaps, with a little work, this Wiki could serve as a tool in marketing the Writing Center's services as well.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the content of this Wiki, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or by phone.

See you in the Center!
