Rocky Mountain Writing Centers Association
Friday, March 5th & Saturday, March 6th, 2021
Hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno Writing & Speaking Center
Conference Theme
In this new world of COVID-19, masks, social movements, and Zoom appointments, we ask ourselves as writing consultants/tutors, writing center administrators, theorists, and practitioners several questions: Who are we? Who do we want to be? How do we help? What does “help” look like for us?
At the edge of a new frontier for writing support and as modern-day pioneers, we must decide what we want our identities to be, what principles will guide us, and what we want our actions to be moving forward. So, TutorCon 2021, invites proposals for individual presentations, workshops, round table discussions, group games, and gallery submissions that address how you and/or your center are creating who you are, what you seek, and how you help.
While TutorCon 2021 will be held virtually, we implore you to see that as an opportunity rather than as a constraint. Let’s push the boundaries of online interactions!
