You Are Here
The Randolph-Macon Writing Center
Spring semester hours (Feb 12-May 10)
Sun 6-11 pm
Mon-Wed 2-11 pm
Thursday 6-11 pm
Why Visit? - Our tutors rock. We are staffed by students, for students. Tutors come in all shapes, interests, and backgrounds--what they share is a love of writing, a friendly attitude, and an excitement about helping you.
- Help is on the way. Feeling uncertain about how to write a biology paper? Not sure what your sociology professor is asking for? A little unclear about your organization? Are you great with grammar but not so clear on those commas? We're the ones who can help you before you turn that paper in.
- What goes on, anyway? When you come to the writing center, we set aside 45 minutes of one-on-one time to help you. If you don't need that much time, that's fine. Some people want more, and they make follow-up appointments after their first set of revisions.
- Need something more? We specialize in academic papers, but we do more! If you want help with an application, a short story, or a submission to Dear Abby, we can give you feedback on that too. We also support writers through campus speakers, events, and off-campus trips.
Although you can just stop by, an appointment is better. You can sign up with our online scheduler prior to the day of the appointment.
That's the best part. We have a great crew that you can get to know. Find one you like and keep coming back for more.

Hello! My name is Caroline Brown. Besides the expected reading and writing, I love playing the piano, being a member of the R-MC volleyball team, and cooking. I'm an English major/Secondary Education minor who secretly still wants to be an astronaut, but until then, my specialty is assignments that ask students to compare or contrast works of any kind. I love helping my peers no matter how big or small their problems are, so if you get a chance come visit. I would love to help in anyway I can. |

Hi, my name is Mark Lotts. I am a senior and am majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I love helping others with their writing, and I can help you improve your paper’s grammar and organization. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, racquetball, basketball, and ping-pong. I am also a huge fan of Chelsea F.C., the Dallas Cowboys, and the Atlanta Braves. |

Hi. My name is Maggie, and I am a junior at RMC. I am majoring in Women's Studies with a minor in Philosophy. I am best at helping with Research and Philosophy papers. I am looking forward to helping people with their writing while working at the Writing Center. The last place I want to be is a boring tutoring session, so I will make it as fun as writing can be! |

Hello. I’m Angelica Yost and I’m an English major with a minor in Women’s Studies. Papers on literary analysis and feminist theory are my specialties, but I also have experience in writing history and sociology papers. I am the president of Randolph Artists and Writers, and a member of Randolph Readers, Sigma Tau Delta, the Honors program, and Washington Literary Society. In my spare time I enjoy reading fantasy novels, writing poetry, and listening to neo-classical music. I have a great passion for Renaissance literature, so if you need any help on a paper about Shakespeare or Edmund Spenser, please stop by and you will make my day! |

Hello! My name is Kimberly Turner. I’m a junior from Fredericksburg, Virginia. I am an International Studies major with a minor in Political Science. I also work for the Dean of Students office and am Vice-President of the International Interest Group. I’m great at paper organization, especially research papers. I can help with any type of paper, even though my greatest experience is with Political Science and English. Feel free to come to me with any writing help you may need--I can’t wait to offer any help that you may need! |

Hello, I’m Elanya Chin and I’m a junior here at Randolph-Macon College. I am majoring in International Studies (emphasis in Latin American culture & society) as well as Philosophy. Besides clocking hours in the library, I also work as a tour guide and peer mentor. I have a habit of multi-tasking, which might explain why I am always reading while eating, texting while walking (into poles), and things of that nature. I believe there is nothing more empowering than the realization of how much choice we have: over our attitudes, work ethic, friendships, etc. If you need help with any sort of writing assignment, THE CHOICE IS YOURS- visit the writing center!

Hello! My name is Rachel Johnsen and I’m in the lucky class of 2013. I am majoring in both Political Science and French, so I can assist you with papers written in French as well as English. When I’m not in the WC, you might see me out and about doing things such as playing lacrosse, helping edit the YJ newspaper, and being involved in Greek life through Alpha Phi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta. Overall, I love helping people, so come on over if you need assistance at any stage of writing a paper. Whether you need help brainstorming ideas, organizing or proofreading your paper, I’ll be happy to help! |

Hello, my name is Erin Byrne and I am a sophomore from Stafford, Virginia. I am an English major and a film and German minor. I enjoy baking, doodling in the margins of my notebooks, and singing. I am constantly writing, not just for class but because I genuinely love to write. I am best at English papers and with grammar, but I will help with anything and in any way I can. |
