Catholic U Writing Center

The Catholic University Writing Center is here to support you at all stages of the writing process! With one-on-one appointments for writers at all levels, we strive to help students be the best writers they can be and develop their skills across all academic disciplines!

It’s a Tutor Tuesday revival today with undergraduate writing tutor Amelia Bamsey! Millie is a Sophomore Economics major and English minor from St. Paul, Minnesota. Her current favorite book is Educated by Tara Westover!

Due to the snowy weather the Mullen Library will close today. This means that all of our in-person writing center appointments will be canceled or virtual for the day. Enjoy the snow day!

Today is the first day of #NaNoWriMo18! People sign up with the goal of writing a whole novel in 30 days. We can't help with 50,000 words in one session, but you can come in for help developing a plan to write (be it a novel, term paper, or small assignment)

Happy Halloween, CUA! May your costumes be spooky and your deadlines be far-off.

@brunch_cop thank you, officer

What's your spooky costume this year? We're working on how to dress up as a comma splice...

Drop by the Writing Center to find out about the beautiful and mysterious em dash— it's really a jack of all trades.

Hey CUA students--don't forget that the Writing Center has switched to a new scheduling system! Make sure to use Cardinal Success to make all appointments with us (and tutoring and advising, of course) at cardinalsuccess.campus.eab.com. We're here for you! #cardinalsuccess

Students, you’re going to have to ask your philosophy profs if this is in fact true, but even if it’s not the holy grail of Cave allegory explanations, you still get to see an adorably confused pug! (Do any CUA philosophy folks want to weigh in?)
