What We Do The Center for Writers serves the North Dakota
State University community by providing free writing assistance to students, faculty, and staff in all departments at all levels:– by providing a supportive environment where
writers and readers work one-on-one or in small groups
– by respecting students’ content knowledge and ownership of their documents as we offer advice
