Welcome to the Center for Excellence in Writing!

Writing consultations take place in 17 Norton, just down the hall from 1 Capen.

No.

Our Writing Center in 17 Norton provides quality one-to-one support for all members of the UB community including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, post doctoral fellows and visiting scholars.  

We can help with any type of writing project including course essays, theses and dissertations, application materials, articles for publication and more!  

We provide services in four formats: 

  • In-person in 17 Norton
  • Virtual (via Zoom) - including Sundays!
  • Advanced read and meet (for longer documents) 
  • Written feedback (new service!  Learn more)  

We help in any stage of the writing process from initial brainstorming and planning, research, drafting, revision, to final polish.  

Connect with us today - we have what GenAi doesn't -- human understanding!  

Will you visit the Oral Communication Lab this Friday?

The CEW is a very welcoming resource on campus. As a transfer student in my second semester, I am very appreciative of their welcoming environment since it makes me feel like I fit in on campus."
