The Ott Memorial Writing Center invites the campus community to celebrate Ottoberfest 2023 in Raynor 240 and online from Monday, Oct. 2, through Tuesday, Oct. 31.
The Norman H. Ott Memorial Writing Center is a resource for all writers in the Marquette community and the surrounding Milwaukee neighborhood. The writing center is comprised of peer tutors — undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty from the humanities, sciences and social sciences — who act as conversational partners for writers in all disciplines.
There are plenty of ways for everyone — undergraduates and graduate students — to participate:
Otter Rewards: Pick up a stamp card, rack up Ottober appointments, and reap the rewards as a writer and a collector of Ott merch.
Instagram Raffle: Follow @marqwritingcenter, share its messages and enter the raffle.
