Making a Difference: It's What We Do
Utah CRLA’s Regional Conference will be held via Zoom on Friday, July 9, 2021 from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm.
The conference theme is Making a Difference: It’s What We Do. Tutoring services are intended to impact students of an institution in a positive way. This conference will offer opportunities for learning centers to share their program’s successes, look at how tutoring positively impacts their students, and offer new ideas on how to increase the impact of tutoring services. We invite you to engage in these conversations by attending and presenting at the Utah CRLA Regional Conference this summer.

The Role of Writing Center Tutors: Global Issues on a Local Scale In college and university writing centers, tutors question whether they should prioritize helping students get the best grades or helping writers grow their voices.
