First look: Fall 2015 Student Research Showcase!

That’s right, it’s back! 

The Writing, Research, and Media Center is proud to announce that it is once again hosting the Research/Final Paper Showcase for the Fall 2015 semester. The showcase invites students to create posters that explain an important paper or piece of research the student wrote in the past semester and present them at the showcase. Students do not have to give a speech or presentation; rather they stand by their posters so spectators have questions about the students’ projects. This is a great way to be involved in the VIU community, celebrate your hard work, and practice for possible conferences in graduate school!

The Research/Final Paper Showcase will be Tuesday, December 1^st from 6PM-8PM in the Library Student Room. If you are interested in making a poster to showcase, please register by Friday, November 20th at 5:00PM.

For more information, please e-mail wrmc@viu.edu

That's Right, We Have Writing Center Hours in Pender!

That's Right, We Have Writing Center Hours in Pender!

      Welcome back to an exciting new school year! The WRMC has been working hard to expand and provide the students with quality writing services and instruction. One way we're doing this is to make sure we are accessible to all students! In that respect, while VIU is transitioning from our 3-building campus on Waples Mill Road to our new building on Village Drive, the WRMC will be offering hours at both campuses to accommodate our Pender students!

For the immediate future, the WRMC will have these hours at the Village Drive campus:

Tuesday: 8:30AM-2:30PM
Thursday: 8:30AM-2:00PM
Friday: NOON-6PM 

The WRMC will have hours at Pender these following times:

Thursday: 2:30PM-4:30PM


Where is The WRMC Located at These Campuses? 
        The WRMC is located on the second floor in the Village Drive Building. It is where the offices are, so if you see the classrooms, you've gone the wrong way! Exit the elevator or the staircase on the second floor and go through the door that is right across the hall (next the library). When you walk through that door, you will notice that the WRMC is the 3rd door to your right.
         The Pender office is where the old School of Business used to be! If go to the front desk at Pender, you will notice two hallways. Go down the hallways to your left. At the end of that hallway is an open space. We are the first door you will see as you walk down the open space (see the picture below).
