Mount Saint Mary College’s Writing Center recently donated more than 100 books total to two local organizations: The Orange County Office of Aging and the Little Friends Learning Loft in the Newburgh Jewish Community Center, a Montessori-inspired preschool and kindergarten.
The books were donated by Mount students, staff, and faculty.
The Mount’s Writing Center sponsors a variety of events for students throughout the year. The center’s tutors assist Mount students in all stages of the writing process, including brainstorming and organizing ideas; structuring sentences, paragraphs, and essays; strengthening argumentation; incorporating research; appropriate systems of citation; and improving grammar and style.
