    Writing Center Culture at LAU: Over a Decade in the Making

    What makes a Writing and Communication Center matter in a world where AI can generate text in seconds?In our first episode of The Draft, we explore how the center became a space for connection, conversation, and growth. From removing the stigma of asking for help to navigating COVID, regional crises, and the rise of AI, we discuss why students still need human listeners, not just smart tools.Joined by the founding director and the dedicated academics who helped shape the Center over the years, we talk about tutors as sounding boards rather than judges, the value of struggle in learning, keeping your own voice in the age of AI, and why process matters more than product.Dr. Reine Azzi is joined by Dr. Rula Diab, Ms. Paula Habre, Ms. Maya Akiki, and Dr. Jordan Srour as they also tackle the biggest question of all: what will make it all matter five years from now?Listen now and join the conversation. And if you think you have a podcast idea or would like to just share your feedback, you can reach out to us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you!
