Addressing Diversity through Collaboration:
Perspectives from a Library and Writing Center
Ann Kardos, Reference Librarian, Savannah College of Art and Design
Jennifer Peper, Director of the Writing Center, Savannah College of Art and Design
1. How can you forge an active working relationship among the writing center, library, and
the faculty to close the gap between the variety of high school writing experiences and
the college writing experience?
2. How can you demonstrate the importance of writing and research through a hands‐on
approach while emphasizing the students’ own inherent skills? How do you convince
students that these skills are necessary and vital beyond their freshman year?
3. How do you help students realize and communicate their writing and research needs?
How do you get them to understand what their true abilities are now and where they
will be in the future?
