The Writing Center at Briar Cliff University develops students’ abilities to write college-appropriate papers of various kinds, displaying competence in grammar, articulation, structure and cohesion.  Briar Cliff University’s Writing Center offers the following services:  one-on-one peer mentoring, workshops, and computer-based tutorials for undergraduate and graduate students.

History:  For more than 20 years, the Briar Cliff Writing Center has operated as a writing lab on campus.  Over the years, the lab has been directed by Sister Loyola Meuret, Mark Simpson, Cindy Nahrwald, Linda Bagshaw, Phil Hey, Amy Thompson, and Sean Herring.

Located in Room 50 on the ground floor of Heelan Hall, the Writing Center currently is directed by Dr. Ryan Allen, assistant professor of English and Writing. 

The foundation built over the past two decades has, in part,  created today’s learning environment in the lab, where students eagerly seek assistance with their many writing assignments.
