ABSTRACT
The changes noted most often by participants are not necessarily negative, such as a new location, a new focus on diversity or inclusion, technological advancements, or changes in budget and lead administrator status. Physical and administrative shifts can be as daunting as ones that address changes to student writing habits. The CCCC panel included Shareen Grogan, then president of the International Writing Centers Association (IWCA). If writing centers in the United States face changes from administrative and curricular shifts, most of the international colleagues we know in IWCA and European Writing Centers Association report that for many of their nations, the very idea of a writing center is new. In cases like the new center at Chalmers University in Sweden profiled in this anthology, the entire project arose on a technical campus without any history of near-peer writing assistance.
