Savanna Osowski
Majors: Computer Science and Media Studies
While I’m happy to work with you on any paper or project, I feel most comfortable working with papers written in MLA and Chicago styles. My favorite part of writing is making tiny grammar corrections, fixing the “flow” of sentences and paragraphs, and finalizing papers for submission. However, I can also appreciate the power of a complete revision when necessary. I’m ready to learn and be challenged this year; I hope you are too!
Hours: Mondays, from 6-8 p.m.
