Hello, all! Welcome to the Spring 2025 Semester at Millersville University!
My name is Devin Sparwasser, and I am a new tutor and blog writer at the Writing Center! I hope you all had a restful Winter Break and are starting off the semester with some academic ambition.
I want to make you all aware of a couple campus resources you can utilize to help you succeed this semester, specifically those pertaining to reading and writing!
1. The Writing Center Adjusted Hours
Monday-Thursday: 12:00-8:00 pm
Friday: 12:00-4:00 pm
Schedule an appointment with one of our tutors through Starfish! We prefer in-person or Zoom appointments, but online appointments through email are welcome as long as you provide the information we need. This includes your Name, M#, Class Name, Professor, and what type of assistance you are looking for.
Walk-ins are always welcome, too! Never hesitate to stop by 🙂
2. Kurzweil Online Software
Kurzweil is a learning software provided to all students through Learning Services. It can be downloaded onto your computer, or you can use the online version! If reading, taking notes, and/or making outlines is challenging for you, Kurzweil can help. The software includes features like translations in at least 12 different languages, multiple voices to choose from that can read to you, organizer templates to map out writing assignments, vocabulary definitions, and highlighter breakdowns of specific concepts!
If you have any further questions about using Kurzweil, feel free to contact Learning Services!
Kurzweil 3000
Kurzweil 3000 is a web-based learning solution built on the technology of Kurzweil Education, Inc., a comprehensive reading, writing and learning solution for reading disabilities.
3. Learning Services Workshops
In Lyle Hall, Learning Services offers a variety of workshops that target specific academic skills throughout the semester. These topics include critical thinking, note-taking, study skills, time management and organization, strategies to boost memory, and understanding students with disabilities/disorders, among others. I have attached a list of the Spring 2025 workshops being offered below for anyone interested!
