In September 2012, the Kettering College Writing Center first opened its doors to students. Dr. Erin Banks-Kirkham was the first director of the writing center and served in that position for two years, leaving for a position in California in Spring, 2014. At this time, Laura Edwards was named Director and has been the Director of the writing center since that time.
Since opening, we have increased tutor training, attended writing center specific conferences, conducted research on writing center work, and physically moved within the college three times.
We began in the space near the gym that now serves as the PA Lab. Below are some pictures from our time in that space from Fall 2012 to Spring 2015.
