William D. Mounger ’48 West Point Writing Center Dedicated

On Wednesday, October 26, members of the Office of the Dean, Department of English and Philosophy, and Corps of Cadets gathered on the second floor of Jefferson Hall to celebrate the dedication of the William D. Mounger ’48 West Point Writing Center. Located on the second floor of Jefferson Hall, the Mounger Writing Center (MWC) sponsors one-on-one consultations, periodic group workshops, and targeted special events to all Cadets working on writing and communications projects for any academic course, personal interest, or professional opportunities. The conversations that occur in the MWC are designed to help all writers express themselves more clearly, forcefully, and effectively. The Academy has renamed the center in recognition of Mr. Mounger’s enduring commitment to Cadet education, specifically his significant support to the Department of English and Philosophy. At the end of the ceremony, Cadet Cameron Voigt ’17, a Mathematics major and Cadet in Charge of the MWC, expressed his appreciation to Mr. Mounger by stating, "I've seen such huge strides made in the success and effectiveness of this group and that’s thanks to your generosity."
