The NTCC Work4College (W4C) Program is a program that allows students the opportunity to EARN their degree at NTCC. The PURPOSE of the NTCC Work4College Program is to help students earn their degree with two goals in mind: 1) to give every student the opportunity to attend college without acquiring debt; and 2) to provide a hands-on learning experience in a meaningful work area allowing students to earn while they learn. The MISSION of the NTCC Work4College Program is to instill each student with qualities they will rely on for the rest of their lives while also helping them to earn a debt free education. Those positive attributes include a strong work ethic, time management, fiscal responsibility, interpersonal skills, and knowledge of other things expected of them in the workplace. These are all a part of the student’s learning experience in the NTCC Work4College Program.

We offer free writing support to TAMUK students, faculty, and staff. Accomplished graduate and undergraduate students make up our staff of dedicated tutors. We work with writers through all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming and organizing to revising and polishing. While face-to-face, in-person appointments are the ideal way to experience our services, students (especially distance learners) can also make online appointments.

At the University Writing Center (UWC), we believe writing is more than just a tool. It is a skill every citizen needs, and a craft every student should hone. Our challenge as peer Writing Consultants is to collaboratively assist fellow writers in all stages of the writing process, from generating ideas to editing and proofreading. We meet each writer where she or he is, with respect for individual learning styles. We share with fellow writers the tools necessary to improve her or his writing process, while fostering interactions between peer learners that benefit both the writer and the writing consultant. At the UWC, everyone is a valued colleague in our culture of writing.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Since 2015 we've interacted with about 28,800 students via writing tutorials, classroom visits, and writing workshops.
