Four female presenting students are sitting on chairs and couches in front of a blue wall, which has the logo for the Center for Writing Excellence on it in white. Three of the students have their laptops open. They are all smiling.

The Center for Writing Excellence is a place for students, faculty, and staff to visit for one-to-one or multi-member group projects. Through a conversational approach, we can help you at any stage of the writing process. From first-year writing assignments to senior capstone projects, presentations, proposals, podcast scripts and more, the CWE is here to help you not only troubleshoot your writing but also develop your sense of self-expression through writing.  

We offer 45-minute appointments in-person and online through our scheduler WCOnline. Click below to create an account or login. 

What we do

  • Support student writers 
    The CWE remains up-to-date on best practices in mentoring writers across disciplines at all stages of the writing process — from brainstorming to drafting, revising, editing, and polishing. Students are encouraged to visit at any stage of the writing process to receive one-to-one and group writing advice for classes and personal work.
  • Advance research in writing studies
    The CWE is committed to advancing research on the teaching and mentoring of writing through participation in national conferences and publications. The CWE internship offers undergraduate students (sophomore and above) extensive opportunities not only to mentor writers, but also to develop their own research projects and participate in national academic conversations, preparing them for success in future graduate studies, professional degree programs, and additional career paths.
  • Connect faculty
    In addition to supporting student writers, the CWE assists faculty across the disciplines. Through individualized consultations, classroom visits, and workshops, the CWE strives toward enhancing the teaching of writing in all departments.
  • Value inclusive community
    The CWE values an environment in which all students feel comfortable to express themselves through their writing. The CWE actively promotes equality and access to writing support in its work with students, faculty, and community members on and off campus.
