Jackie Grutsch McKinney requests participation in a new survey of writing center activities:

Dear friends and colleagues,

Today, after months of preparations, we are launching a new survey of writing center directors. This survey seeks to document all the work that happens in writing centers beyond one-to-one tutoring. To our knowledge, a survey on this topic and of this scale has not been done before. If you can take just 10-15 minutes to complete the survey now, the results might be useful to you in the future as you administrate your center, negotiate for additional funding, conduct research, or apply for grants. Below, you’ll find a link for our video introduction to this project and a text invitation or you can go directly to the survey now at: www.tinyurl.com/wcwork <http://www.tinyurl.com/wcwork> .

Text Invitation:
Have you ever wondered what other writing centers are doing? We know writing centers are sites for various kinds of tutoring, but we also know from our own experience that much more goes on in centers than tutoring. We want to know about these other activities and initiatives–all the non-tutoring work we do–and we’d like your help!

With gracious financial support from an International Writing Center Association Research Grant, we have launched a brief, online survey to record the work that writing centers across the country engage in. We think this project is important to the field as this information has not been systematically collected, analyzed, and reported on this scale before. We also believe that this work may be under-theorized in the scholarship of writing centers. Last, we think information on the full range of writing center activities may be important to individual writing centers both to help staffs recognize all of the work they do *as* work and to allow staffs to compare initiatives and projects to national trends.

So, if you are a writing center administrator (whatever your title might be—if you are responsible for a writing center), please take 15 minutes to complete our survey: www.tinyurl.com/wcwork . If you are not the one in charge in your writing center, please ask your director to take the survey or ask if you can complete it for him/her. (If you are behind a firewall, you might have to use this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=EgnJvQcUZhWQsgCbuLAFxw_3d_3d.)

If you are interested in our findings, join us as we present preliminary survey results at the International Writing Center Association Collaborative at CCCC’s in March.

Thanks for your help!
