Welcome to the Writing Center at the University of Minnesota, Crookston!

The mission of the Writing Center is to assist UMC students with any aspect of academic writing, to deepen students' understanding of writing strategies, to sharpen their writing skills, and to make them better writers so that they can achieve their academic goals.

• need writing strategies for a specific kind of audience
• don't know what to include in a resume or cover letter
• need to practice a presentation or speech
• need peer feedback for a term paper
• are confused about which citation style to use and how
• don't know what your professor means when he says "dangling modifier"
