The Honors College Writing Center
The Honors Writing Center provides one-on-one assistance to any Honors student for an assignment in any class, a project, a presentation, or any academic/personal writing need. Tutors are Honors students who have been trained to offer help and insight on a variety of writing issues. Skilled in a broad range of services, the tutors can focus on formulating a thesis, incorporating supporting evidence, strengthening topic sentences, moving from passive to active voice, organizing research, structuring a conclusion, brainstorming ideas, and more. All Honors students are encouraged to come in for feedback at any stage in their writing process.

Sophia Marchner Accordion Closed
Sophia is a second-year student majoring in Communication and minoring in Spanish. When she isn’t working at the Writing Center, she’s probably still writing. She loves making up fantasy stories and hopes to work in the publishing industry when she graduates. Some of her favorite books are The Starless Sea, Piranesi, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (and if you talk about them with her in meetings, she’ll probably give you extra candy). She also works as a CA in Gabaldon Hall and serves as one of the two historians for Spanish Club. She’s excited to read whatever you bring her!

Grace is a junior and a journalism major. This is Grace’s second year as president of Green Jacks, a club focused on exciting and educating students about sustainability. With this, she has a passion for the environment and for involvement on campus. When she has time, Grace also likes to be involved with SSLUG and the Taylor Swift Society. She enjoys being crafty and making her own earrings and candles. Over summer, Grace lives with her family in Tucson, Arizona, but she loves Flagstaff and the community she is a part of! Did I mention she loves Taylor Swift?

Liv Scott Accordion Closed
Liv is currently a sophomore majoring in Psychological Sciences with a minor in Criminology. In her future career, she hopes to work closely with those affected by the justice system. Having spent time living in both Michigan and Arizona, she can say with great confidence that she prefers cooler winters to the summer heat. When she’s not tutoring, you can usually find her binge-watching movies in her dorm or sitting in the quad reading a good book. She loves nerding out about Shakespeare, legal dramas, and grammar rules, and she can’t wait to nerd out with all of you in the Writing Center this year!

Alex is currently a junior double majoring in psychology and biomedical sciences with a minor in sociology; this is her second year at the Honors College Writing Center. After graduating, she plans on attending medical school somewhere far, far away from Arizona, where she has lived for the majority of her life. In her free time, she enjoys watching pretentious art films, shopping at antique stores, or visiting her cats back at home.
Perry Davidson Accordion Closed
In Fall 2024 Perry began his sixth year teaching in the NAU Honors College. This year he will also be the interim Coordinator of the Honors Writing Center. He has an MA in literature, which he is very proud of, but don’t call him Dr. Davidson. He will answer to almost anything else. He is here to help with all of your writing needs this year, so be sure to stop in to the Writing Center whenever you have a minute to ask for help and guidance, or just to say hello.
