Faculty Resources

The University Writing Center is dedicated to assisting both experienced and inexperienced writers with all types of composition, fostering productive discourse between students and their classroom instructors, and helping IUPUI maintain its tradition of serious academic instruction in a positive, open, and intellectually- stimulating environment. To that end, we have collected some resources specifically for faculty members who are assigning writing projects.

At the beginning of every semester, our tutors make visits to writing classes all over campus. With a limited number of staff, however, we cannot always reach every class that includes a writing project. If you would like to introduce the Writing Center's services to your students in a more humorous way, we have created the video file below that you might consider sharing with them.
