When a person wants to educate themselves, they attend university; hence when a physician needs to apply the science he/she has learned, the good doctor will get a degree from med school, etc. etc. When a writer has writer's block or cannot formulate their own opinions or form a hypothesis of what the assignment needs to grasp, the student would go to a Writing Center. These centers should provide everything from bolt to nuts, for comparison's sake, the Elite Center needs to have overqualified individuals who know how to lead others and are able to take positive criticism as well on their own writings. These leaders or masters of English need to assist all levels in the writing process and all levels of writers. From the blank page to the rough draft of a 150 page manuscript almost ready for processing, that just needs a look over before going to the publisher, to the research manual forming hypotheses. From the ESL learners, to the freshman who barely passed English in high school, to the junior needing an excellent paper to pass a History requirement, to the Graduate Level student working on their thesis. A writing center also needs to have workshops to teach the basics like grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure if this kind of help is so needed. Being a university, this English conglomerate needs to satisfy all needs, every level, every inquiry and so forth; if not why exist in the first place. Even faculty, advisors, adminstrative staff, and even cafeteria workers working on research projects about writing could benefit from such an extraordinare facility if the hierarchial structure assisted in doing so. The vision in forming an Elite Writing Center is to be a mega-structure so formally designed that everyone will feel welcomed, assisted and less overwhealmed with their studies and at the same time their needs would be addressed and satisfied. The Michigan State University writing center appeals to all audiences, for having a stablilized structure in which even the outside community is welcomed. Being a University in the tri-state area, the advantage to reach out to extremities not sought out before is a new ideal, yet achieving that status would thus take ardous reinforcement from the consultants and staff alike. Volunteers in the process of making this writing center grandiose would appeal to the average human being, and thus make it a more inviting environment. The idea is to be invitational, welcoming, beneficial, and achieve success being areas imaginable while upholding a standard of admiration in the executive arena all the while enriching the language of English and allowing others to be proficient writers within the academic world. After all it's a world class education that is sought after by scholars, ye?
**Note: I'm in the process of adding my research, but i have "borrowed" (not taken-read hers and formulated my own ideals) some of my ideas from the Michigan State University gameplan, and want to dive deeper in other writings by the same author who wrote the philosophy piece.**
