           This Year’s Conference
                    The Writing Center at Weber State University is excited to announce
                    the fourteenth annual Rocky Mountain Peer Tutoring Conference.  We
                    will hold the conference on March 2-3, 2007, at the Weber State
                    University campus in Ogden, Utah.

Theme
The theme for the conference is                                                        

                                        

We hope this theme will provoke ideas about writing center experiences, and we invite the exploration of related ideas in conference presentations.
PLACE—Consider the writing center’s place on the campus as well as its place in the campus writing discourse.
SPACE—Consider spaces around writing—head space, word space, physical space.  How do tutors negotiate session space with students?
COMMUNITY—How does the writing center contribute to student retention, to a sense of belonging and community for students and/or for tutors themselves?
