Mission & Services

The mission of the University Writing Center (UWC) is to help Wright State University students become more confident, skilled, independent writers, thereby enhancing their abilities as writers in educational, professional, civic, and personal settings.

Wright State University provides funding so that students may have writing consultations free of charge. Our staff of trained undergraduate and graduate writing consultants from across the disciplines can assist you with almost any type of writing. We provide Personal Peer Consultations to help you learn to:

• Generate and expand your ideas;
• Organize and revise your drafts;
• Identify and correct grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling;
• Use a style guide to document and format your work;
• Deal with other writing issues you may be having.

We will NOT write or edit others' work.

Additional Resources

In addition to providing Personal Peer Consultations, the Writing Center also offers the following resources:

• Mini-manuals providing basic format and citation information for APA and MLA styles
• Thirteen networked computers for word processing and research applications
• Adaptive equipment for students with disabilities
• A library of reference materials you can use while in the center
• Our Writer's Hotline at 775-2158 until 4 p.m. for quick or one-time questions that can be answered over the phone
