Center for Writing Excellence

Make your papers stand out with the Center for Writing Excellence.

The Center for Writing Excellence provides writing support to the faculty, staff, and students of SEMO, as well as writers from beyond the campus. The Center has three main areas of activity: writing support through our Writing Lab, writing in the disciplines, and writing assessment.

The feedback I received on my paper really helped me, and I felt so much better about my assignment. Writing is not my strong suit, but I will be using the Writing Lab from now on and telling more students about this great helpful resource. Thank you so much!
