University Writing Center

EMU’s University Writing Center (UWC) offers writing resources and support to all undergraduate and graduate students and all EMU faculty and staff. The UWC values the diversity of our campus and honors all writers and the languages they bring with them to the university.

Our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement

We at the UWC at Eastern Michigan University believe writing has the power to create change and promote equity. We value the languages, intersecting identities, and lived experiences of our writers and staff and believe a multiplicity of voices enriches the academic environment of our university. It is our responsibility to cultivate a welcoming and inviting space where we support and respond to all writers’ needs and actively engage in antiracist practices. To enact these values, we commit ourselves to engaging in ongoing professional learning; to regularly assessing and adapting our processes for recruiting, hiring, and training consultants; and to continuing dialogue on the effectiveness of our practices. We invite feedback from our community to work towards a more equitable, inclusive, and accessible experience for all writers.
