Writing Center

Mission Statement

Our mission is to support undergraduate and graduate projects across all disciplines involving critical reading & writing, public speaking, document design, and research. We’ve supported face-to-face consultations since 1978, and online consultations since 2016 (4 years prior to the pandemic)! We’re committed to anticipating shifts in writing cultures and technologies and keeping current with progressive approaches to learning, composing, and peer-reviewing. 

Our mission is to advance a diversity of voices, perspectives, and approaches to language. We’re committed to creating a lasting and empowered relationship between writers and their writing through peer-to-peer support and collaboration. Our services are free and open to all members of the university community: students, staff, faculty, alumni, and local residents.

We are a Safe Zone certified learning space committed to empowering and energizing all writer’s identities. We’re committed to making YOU your best at UMaine!
