About the Writing Lab

About Our Writing Lab and our OWL

The Purdue Writing Lab is primarily a tutorial center for writers who want to work one-to-one with a tutor at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Our friendly staff helps students with all sorts of writing -- from first-year students in Introductory Composition at Purdue to graduate students working on their dissertations. Over the years, the Lab's services have expanded to include workshops and other resources for instructors, students, and staff. The Lab serves the entire Purdue community and offers outreach services to Internet users around the world via our Online Writing Lab (OWL).

For the Spring 2004 semester, The Writing Lab will be open from 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM on Fridays. The number for the Writing Lab front desk is (765) 494-3723. For more information and directions, please consult our location and hours page.
