University Writing supports students as thinkers and communicators by helping them become better
writers. Our work has three focus areas: the Miller Writing Center, graduate student programs,
and the Writing Across the Curriculum initiative. Located on the second floor of RBD Library,
the Miller Writing Center offers free writing support for anyone at Auburn University. Our
highly trained staff of undergraduate and graduate peer consultants can help with any academic,
personal, or professional writing. Writers can schedule up to three appointments per week. You
can select the appointment type that works for you: face-to-face in the Miller Writing Center,
online via Zoom, or asynchronous written feedback, which does not require you to
be present at a particular appointment time. To make an appointment, go to Advise & Assist
through AU Access. University Writing offers several programs each semester for graduate
student writers. WriteFest is a four-session workshop that introduces habits, skills,
and mindsets to support graduate students’ well-being and productivity. Graduate Writing
Partners pairs students with a graduate writing consultant for an entire semester of weekly
writing sessions. The Graduate Research and Writing Studio is a weekly writing retreat
with a graduate writing consultant and research librarian available to answer questions. Graduate
Writing Groups provide accountability to help you maintain progress on current writing projects.
University Writing provides instructional support through Writing Across the Curriculum
workshops that introduce evidence-based principles for the effective teaching of
writing across disciplines. In addition, the Resources section of our website gives writers
and instructors access to hundreds of worksheets on a variety of writing-related topics. Faculty
and staff can also receive support for their own writing through University Writing’s retreats,
grant writing workshops, and writing groups. Each year, University Writing hires undergraduate and
graduate students to serve as hourly peer writing consultants and front desk representatives in the
Miller Writing Center. We hire students from all disciplines and backgrounds. University Writing
offers graduate assistantships that include a monthly stipend and complete tuition remission.
Graduate assistants facilitate workshops and programs, work in the Miller Writing Center,
develop teaching materials, and implement projects that align with their professional goals.
Another way to get involved with University Writing is to submit your work to our annual
contests. All current Auburn students are eligible to enter the Outstanding
ePortfolio Contest and the Sustainability Essay Contest. To learn more about University Writing
