The Write Spot is a newly launched initiative that provides a safe and inclusive space for students to write and receive support from peer tutors. Located on campus, it offers free coffee to all students and a variety of resources to help them improve their writing skills. The initiative has been well-received by students, with many expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to work on their writing in a supportive environment. The peer tutors, in particular, have played a crucial role in the success of The Write Spot, offering personalized feedback and guidance to help students develop their writing abilities.
