    College/Department Information

    The CWE (Center for Writing Excellence) is housed in the Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences but serves the entire university.

    Our goal is to foster a culture of writing on campus by helping students, faculty, and staff improve their composition skills through personalized instruction and support.

    We assist with writing, multimodal projects, and oral presentations for any subject or discipline at any stage in the writing process.

    One-on-one consultations available in-person and online.

    The CWE also offers writing groups, retreats, and boot camps; workshops and presentations; digital learning tools; faculty professional development; and WAC/WID resources and trainings.


    The CWE's vision is to be a site of collaborative learning that fosters a culture of excellence in writing, communication, research, and teaching.

    We bring together the AU community and take a unique approach to supporting creative, scholarly, and professional activities.


    The CWE's mission is to empower all members of the AU community in their creative, scholarly, and professional activities by providing tools for improving their written, oral, and multimodal composition skills.

    Because the writing process is social and recursive, all writers, regardless of discipline or ability, benefit from personalized support and opportunities for collaboration.

    We help writers develop and hone their process through explicit instruction and holistic pedagogical approaches that build on past knowledge to increase writer's confidence and productivity.

    The CWE also supports writing across and in the disciplines (WAC/WID) by providing faculty with support for integrating writing and communication into curricula.

    By facilitating connections and collaborations between faculty and student writers, we prioritize socially just practices in the teaching of writing and communication to foster a collaborative culture that promotes student success and faculty teaching excellence.
