Writing Center, founded to improve U. writing, used mostly by freshmen, fails to reach upperclassmen
Freshmen often enter the University believing that they know how to write somewhat decently. As a result, it's a big shock when their first paper is returned and it's not the 'A' grade they're accustomed to receiving. That's often when freshmen frantically book an appointment at the Writing Center, part of the University Writing Program that was established in its current form in 2001 to help students learn the rigorous standards of academic writing that the University expects through freshman writing seminars and the Writing Center.
