The University of Missouri Writing Center, a unit of the Office of Academic Support under the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Studies is a free tutoring service that supports any writer at MU, for any writing task, at any time in their process. We provide in-person and video-based appointments during Fall, Spring, and Summer academic semesters, and the Online Writery remains open & active 24/7/365 for asynchronous writing support. In addition to undergraduate supports across all courses, the continuously growing Graduate Writing Support program offers a full suite of year-round writing events aimed at post-baccalaureate students in addition to individual writing support options.
The professional staff at the Writing Center manage a group of 60-80 tutoring staff over varying levels, who directly serve about 15% of student enrollment, averaging 12,000+ student contacts per academic year. Around 30% of those annual contacts come from the Graduate Writing Support program. Finally, the Center’s Graduate Administrative Fellows (GRAdmin) Program includes between four and six year-long graduate student assistants, who provide both tutoring and administrative support. That program also provides administrative training and professional development for the graduate student cohort.
The Writing Center celebrates our 50th anniversary next week and recently celebrated the Online Writery’s 30th anniversary in 2024. We’re looking forward to the next 50 years of supporting students wherever they are.
