7 ways the Miller Writing Center is like Game of Thrones


1. Six kingdoms in Westeros                                 Six Writing Center
                                                                                  locations
Kingdom of the Riverlands                                        Athletics Complex
Kingdom of the Vale                                                  Multicultural Center
Kingdom of the North                                                RBD
Kingdom of the Rock                                                 Forestry
Kingdom of the Stormlands                                       Architecture Library
Kingdom of the Reach                                               Learning Commons

2. We forgot the Kingdom of Dorne? Well, you forgot we work with
Creative writing, engineering, science reports, research papers, etc. Not just English essays.
           
3. There are nine major houses in Westeros... And we see at least as many types of writing:
Unfinished Outlines
History essays
English Papers
Creative Writing
*Dragons
Engineering Reports

4. The Night's Watch must fight daily in the cold and dark to keep the wildlings from breaking past the wall and overwhelming the South.
The embattled consultants of the Miller Writing Center fight daily in the well-lit warmth to keep theses and deadlines from breaking past the bounds of students’ sanity.
 
5. Each house has its motto. “Winter is coming,” “A Lannister always pays his debts” and “We do not sow.”
At the Miller Writing Center, our mottos are “Improving the writer, not the writing,” “Reaching every writer” and “We do not edit.”
 
6. Maesters serve kings and rulers across Westeros, helping lords get messages out to both kings and others around the world in a coherent manner.
Writing Center Consultants serve the students of Auburn, helping them get messages out to both professors and the writing community just as clearly.

7. The cast of the Game of Thrones television show is a group of attractive, photogenic actors who are extremely good at their jobs.


*The Writing Center is not responsible for the feeding or care of any live dragons brought to a session.
