Program Engagement
The Cooper Center offers two interactive programs each semester where students can come to work with others on writing and studying for their courses. The Write-A-Thon centers writing as a process. Students write, revise, and seek feedback from the faculty, staff, and trained Cooper Center peer tutor roving writers. The Study-A-Thon emphasizes the practice of studying, and promotes study skills and discipline-specific learning through focused programming. Cooper Center peer tutors are available to answer questions about their disciplines and encourage collaborative learning.

Each faculty/staff representative serves a two-year term, while student terms are one year in length.
