Are we tutors or consultants? Upon choosing one (consultant) over the other (tutor), our center has also dealt with the challenge of making that change permanent, a difficult task considering how engrained tutor had been in the lexicon of our writing center culture. When making any drastic change in culture, policy, or behavior, writing center administrators need to provide support strategies that can help staff members make that change effectively rather than simply issuing a mandate and expecting staff members to comply.
