The Department of Writing Studies is delighted to announce the Grand Opening on Sunday, March 18, 2:00 - 3:00pm, of the new AUS Writing Center, now located in the AUS Library Building, room LIB 024. The spaciousness of the Writing Center's new site will allow for more student appointments-more opportunities for AUS students to receive guidance from the Center's dedicated tutors. Students of the College of Art, Architecture and Design and students of the Department of Mass Communication have enhanced the site's atmosphere with an exhibition of their artistic photographs. Their work will be permanently installed on the walls of the Writing Center, adding beauty and interest to the décor. These extraordinary images were first featured in the new custom textbook of the Department of Writing Studies, Where I Stand: The Center and the Periphery. The book's successful publication and the recognition of the students' artistry are additional reasons for celebration on this occasion.
