Writing Center: February progress report

Hi Readers,

We're tracking our progress so we can learn from them in order to improve and be more efficient ( in meeting students' needs ).  Here it is:

Hours and # of Students-

For February, the Writing Center was open for 66 hours, and we worked with 77 students ( dedicating at least an hour per student ).  The first week was slow because of the many snow cancellations and delays.  We also just opened, so most of the students didn't even know we were here.
