The email confirmation will state your appointment is with Lisa Crumit-Hancock. However, your appointment is really with one of the writing consultants on duty in the Learning Studio (the area to the left as you enter the Pilgrim Library). Lisa Crumit-Hancock controls the calendar for the Writing Consultations and that is why the automatic email incorrectly states the appointment is with her.
NOTE: The link above is for writing consultations. If you would like to request a PEER TUTOR for one of your classes, please go to the online tutor request form.

Student Academic Support Services (SASS) provides students with free assistance on their papers, projects, and reports from writing consultants located in the Learning Studio. Writing Consultants have been recommended by faculty members, have successfully completed the writing courses at Defiance College and are all-around excellent students. Writing Consultants provide students with private, individualized help in half-hour sessions to develop strategies for approaching their assignments through a better understanding of purpose, structure, topic, and audience. Writing Consultants are not proofreaders nor merely editors; they are trained to help writers with higher order concerns at ANY stage of the writing process.
If you have questions please call (419-783-2332) or
email (SASS@defiance.edu).
