Wow, Sarah, your post was soooooo heartening!!  I started our 
writing center just one year ago, and constantly worried about 
our lack of "accountability" as far as numbers go.  We still 
have a VERY long way to go, but this past semester more than 
half of the freshmen on campus used the services.  We cannot 
seem, though, to get students from other disciplines to come in 
for help on papers that are not specifically for English 
classes.  Any suggestions?  I've talked with faculty members, 
deans, etc., but it's almost as if they see encouraging their 
students to come in as some reflection of ineptitude on their 
parts.
