Benelli Writing Center

The Peter J. Benelli Writing Center (BWC), established in September 2011, seeks to foster a cross-curricular, whole-school approach to writing as a process and strives to celebrate the endeavor for all students. One of the common refrains from Thayer graduates following graduation is an appreciation of how well they were taught to write - be it for college courses or careers later on in life. The Writing Center is a place that augments the tremendous teaching that already occurs in the classroom - where students can seek help with any part of the writing process. Dedicated BWC Fellows are trained to assist student writers at all stages of the process, and across all disciplines, for any project (literary essays, poetry, non-fiction, fiction, history research papers, college essays, lab reports, contest entries, etc.).
