Can you tell me how to get, how to get, to the Writing Center?

Under the guidance of Dr. Melissa Nicholas, the new director of the Albright College Writing Center, there has been an attempt to make the center a more vital and respected part of the Albright campus. Beginning with her taking over the reigns in the spring semester 2009, Dr. Nicolas has attempted to help the Albright campus realize that the Writing Center is not a "fix it" shop, but a place where students are encouraged to receive help and guidance with their papers to become better writers. It has been a transition that has not been easy, but with the help of an interim class helping students to learn how to become better tutors AND writers, the Writing Center is well on its way. I interview two tutors at the Writing Center, senior Christine Phillips, who has been working at the center since 2007, before Dr. Nicolas arrived, and Meghan Wheeler, who joined this semester, after taking Dr. Nicolas' interim class, Dave Smith, a freshman, who is a frequent Writing Center visitor, and Dr. Nicolas.
