The University Writing Center (UWC) offers free services to students, faculty, and staff of Appalachian State University and the Boone community. Anyone who would like to discuss a piece of writing with an informed, sensitive reader is welcome. We are here to work with writers on a wide variety of projects: papers for academic courses; masters and senior thesis chapters; personal essays for job, graduate school, and law school applications; creative writing projects; grant or project proposals; and course syllabi. We work with writers at any stage of the writing process, from inventing topics to editing at the sentence-level concerns.
Unable to get to the UWC in person?
We now offer online writing assistance to all ASU students!
For more information call us at (828)262-3144, or visit our Online Services webpage.
Please be aware that emails sent after we close for the week may not be responded to until the following Monday.
Appalachian Writing Programs Receive National Award
Appalachian State University’s writing programs, Writing Across the Curriculum,
the University Writing Center, and Composition, have been selected to receive
the CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence. The Conference on College
Composition and Communication (CCCC) is the world's largest professional
organization for researching and teaching composition. This certificate is
awarded to outstanding programs and is extremely competitive: the total number
of programs honored since 2004 is 30 and includes Duke and NC State.
The CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence Selection Committee's
decision to honor ASU’s programs was based on its vertical writing model and
evidence of substantial professional development. Georgia Rhoades, Beth Carroll,
and Kim Gunter, directors of the writing programs, will be presented with a
certificate at the awards session of the annual conference in St. Louis in March
2012.
If you're interested in submitting a piece for publication to our Fall 2011 edition of The Re-Visioner, visit our CFP.
