Writing Center

The Margaret H. Ordoubadian University Writing Center (UWC) is open now to help your students become better writers, regardless of their skills or academic levels. The UWC is located in Room 362 of the Walker Library (above Starbucks and on the third floor).
 Our hours are:    Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.,
         Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.,
         Saturday (closed), and
         Sunday from 2:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
 
Students can visit www.mtsu.edu/writing-center to schedule an appointment and to learn more about our services. They can also find us listed under the letter W in the MTSU A-Z Directory.
 
We have 20 writing consultants who work with students, and during our scheduled hours, we offer one-on-one appointments in the UWC and on-line appointments. We do not merely proofread or edit students’ writing; we help them learn about composing and editing concepts so they can become independent writers. We hope you will encourage individual students to use the UWC, but please do not require entire classes of students to attend so that we can have enough time in the schedule for the rest of the university community.
 
Other services we offer are:
Culture and Conversation Group Sessions (primarily for English Language Learners),
Creative Writing Sessions (for those interested in writing poetry or prose),
Writers’ Studio (for students who need help with any aspect of writing a paper),
Test Preparation Groups (to prepare for PRAXIS and other exams),
Multi-Media Composition Center (to help students incorporate media in their papers or presentations), and other programs needed by our students, such as resume writing. We also offer Writing Partnerships in which a student meets with the same consultant at the same time and day of each week. The partnership program helps students who need long-term consultations.
 
Finally, you can schedule a class visit in your classroom for us to give your students a ten-minute overview of our services. You can access our website to schedule a class visit or contact Dr. James Hamby (see below).
Please e-mail us or call the UWC Front Desk (904-8237) if you need further information. We promote student success, as you do, and offer special help for he MT Engage Program.
 
Wishing you a fine semester,
