We are open! Book an appointment.
Welcome to The Writing Center.
We look forward to working with you.
We take our appointments in person. However, we can hold virtual appointments for medical reasons--for example, if you need to isolate or quarantine. Also, we can assist you remotely if you are away from campus on a college-related activity. Clear all requests for online appointments with Felipe Pruneda Sentíes, Director, at pruneda@hendrix.edu.
Here's information on how remote appointments work.
Contact Director Pruneda Sentíes if you have any questions or concerns.
Best of luck!
Writing can be a lonely activity, but it is much, much better when it is not. Testing your writing with an audience before you submit it is a valuable skill. The Hendrix College Writing Center is a collaborative place where trained readers assist you in sharpening your words. We are devoted to giving students the tools to become more confident and efficient writers.
