Faculty Writing
Our faculty and nonfaculty professional consultants are experienced writers and attentive readers; they are qualified to assist faculty with a variety of writing-related tasks, including the following:
- Professional writing such as article/conference submissions, resumes, grant proposals, and faculty reviews.
- Class-oriented writing related to student assignments, syllabus development, and providing feedback to student texts.
- Personal writing such as fiction, poetry, and community writing.
Class Visits
Often students are not aware of the type of writing support that is available at the University Writing Center. A Writing Center consultant can visit your class to introduce your students to our services, philosophies, and staff.
Call 262-3144 to schedule a visit; we ask that all classroom visits be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.

Handbooks & Resources
The Writing Center is an excellent resource for handbooks on the writing process, grammar instruction, and field-specific style, formatting, and documentation guidelines. We shelve texts that are representative of the most widely used techniques and standards and of the most up-to-date approaches to teaching and using writing in the university setting. We ask that faculty use texts on-site or make special arrangements with the Writing Center director to borrow handbooks.
