Strive to become a better writer, not simply to help the paper become a better paper.

Believe in growth - for yourself and others. Believe you are responsible for your own growth, but that you can intact synergistically to promote your growth.

Practice the silver rule - that is, there are no quick fixes.

Respond with a balance between courage and consideration; remember that you are in control of the situation.

Remember that you are the writer.

We are for our clients; we care about our clients.
But we don't take care of our clients.

Attending to meaning.

The University Writing Center (UWC) is not here to "do our own thing."

The UWC does not mimic whatever teachers have done - unless it's thoroughly consistent with out principles and protocols.

A writer must have-

respect for the audience,
respect for the language,
respect for the truth.
