Helping Every Student Harness the Power of Their Words
One of our points of pride at Nova Southeastern University is our renowned Writing and Communication Center. The services of the center are available to every NSU student through consultations, workshops and course-embedded writing assistants.
Trained professionals and peer writing consultants can help you hone your voice through individualized writing and communications assistance at any stage of the process.
The Mission of the Writing and Communication Center
NSU’s Writing and Communication Center (WCC) is a student-centered, co-curricular academic program that helps students achieve academic excellence. The NSU WCC provides faculty members and students with innovative teaching, learning and scholarship opportunities, both in and out of the classroom. Students work with, and learn from, a diverse community of writers and researchers. The NSU WCC supports the university’s mission and core values.
