Celebrate Constitution Day Sept. 18

Are you a fan of democracy and desserts?  Then help us celebrate Constitution Day this Monday, September 18, at 4:30 pm.  Join the Gerald Ford Institute in front of Robinson Hall for a brief reflection on the day’s importance.  We will then head to the KC Front room for cupcakes and Constitution trivia.  Stop by and party like it’s 1787!

Sign up for a free writing consultation

There’s always more to learn about writing as you encounter new contexts and take on more complex projects. Peer Writing Consultants are here to help you figure it out!

Writing Consultants are available Sunday through Thursday from 4-8 p.m., and we’re located in the Peer Learning Hub on the 2nd floor of Stockwell Library.

Writing consultations are free and unlimited for all Albion College students! Each consultation is scheduled for one hour, though these conversations can last anywhere from 10-60 minutes, depending on the project and your goals.

We specialize in the various kinds of academic writing you’ll encounter in classes (lab reports, analysis essays, research papers), but we’re also eager to talk with you about writing for jobs, professionalization, activism, and creative pursuits.

Schedule an appointment today!
