The UVU Writing Center supports faculty and staff as instructors of writing and as advanced writers. We coordinate with instructors to help students use Writing Center programs and resources, like class visits, handouts, writing workshops, and course-embedded consultations with Writing Fellows.
The Writing Center offers a range of programs and service to support writers with diverse learning needs and preferences:
In-class introductory visits provide a brief overview of Writing Center or Graduate Writing Center programs, services, and resources, including how to register for and participate in tutoring sessions. Visits are typically led by Writing Center student staff. If you are seeking a presentation or workshop on a writing concept, please refer to our Workshop Form.
Promotional or informational tables for campus events advertise Writing Center and Graduate Writing Center programs and services with flyers, swag, handouts, etc. Availability is dependent on event length and Center resources. Additional, supplemental activities are approved on a case-by-case basis.
Workshops reinforce course or program content by providing review and guided practice on general writing concepts, genres, or strategies. Workshops are typically 40–60 minutes in length and follow a consistent structure. Faculty/staff must be present and are responsible for connecting workshop content to their specific course, assignment, or audience.
Most students seek Writing Center support based on faculty encouragement. You can incentivize students to use our services in several ways.
Since writing instruction happens across all fields of study, the Writing Center supports all faculty as writing instructors. We invite faculty to make use of the Writing Center and other support programs:
The Writing Center recognizes and aims to support the needs of faculty and staff as writers.
