The Writing Center’s mission is to support the teaching and learning of writing on campus. Established in 2004, the Writing Center performs this work through its peer tutoring program, support for General Education Writing in the Disciplines courses, and special projects and events at AUB and beyond. The administration and tutors of the center are committed to research and outreach to the larger community. The Writing Center supports AUB students, staff, and faculty via one-on-one consultations and workshops on individual or group writing projects at any stage of development. Undergraduate and graduate students serve as tutors who work to help individuals become strong writers in both English and Arabic. Appointments may be made on our online schedule at:

The Writing Center supports faculty members via organizing workshops on writing in different genres, small group meetings, and individual consultations. Writing Center staff collaborate with faculty members as they develop, assess, and revise courses complying with the General Education-mandated requirement to offer Writing in the Disciplines instructions in every major. Special discussion groups organized by the tutors are also offered to read and analyze certain issues of style as related to the sense of the written texts in different genres. Workshops for programs or departments and individual consultations for faculty seeking to improve writing assignments and activities in their courses can be scheduled by emailing the Writing Center. The Writing Center Office is located in West Hall Basement.
