The Language Resource and Writing Center (LRWC) is a cooperative program between McCormick and The Catholic Theological Union (CTU) to support students whose first language is not English. We help students develop skills through reading/writing and listening/speaking instruction as they prepare for graduation and future ministries.

Current MTS Students can access additional resources on the Writing and Resource Center D2L site. Writing and Resource Center services range from peer tutoring, monthly workshops, to one-on-one appointments and drop-in hours.

HYBRID WORKSHOPS
Writing Workshops are skill-building workshops where students learn specific techniques, tricks, and tips related to academic writing. Participants will leave Writing Workshops with academic writing skills that can be utilized for various writing assignments throughout their time at MTS.

Writing Workshop topics cover how to write critical response papers, how to write final papers, study strategies for final exams, etc. Writing Workshops will take place monthly during the spring semester. Registration information for Writing Workshops can be found in News, Notes, and Reminders. All workshops are hybrid unless otherwise stated.
