The Briar Cliff University Writing Center, located in 50 Heelan Hall, is a place for all students to strengthen their academic development by building competency in the writing process.

Words matter.  They are an expression of what we want to communicate to the world.

The Writing Center is a place for students to engage and collaborate with their peers, to learn to diagnose error patterns in their writing, and to develop the skills to write effectively in their personal and professional lives. Our mission in the Writing Center is to support Briar Cliff's community of writers by empowering those we serve to think critically and to write articulately as a part of an ongoing process of self-awareness and self-expression.

The Writing Center offers one-on-one mentoring, workshops, and various computer-based tutorials.

           How to use one-on-one tutoring and mentoring:

  • Make a weekday or weekend appointment;
