The Writing Center
Writing Support and Opportunities to Grow as a Writer Throughout Your Time at Antioch
The Writing Center works to help scaffold writing skills across the curriculum and offers printed resources and workshops that support writing projects across disciplines, as well as those common to the Antioch experience, including the Life Aims Paper, the self-design major Statement of Inquiry, senior capstone projects, and the Senior Reflection Paper.
