Sarah values forming long-term working relationships with our writers, helping them develop not only their writing but their critical thinking and intellectual maturity as they pursue their degrees. Working closely with our current Featured Writer Anthony Liotta, Sarah, describes what she finds so rewarding in being a CEW consultant.
Welcome to the Center for Excellence in Writing!
The Center for Excellence in Writing is here to support you as UB migrates to a distance-learning model for instruction. We are currently offering a full schedule of synchronous online appointments.
To learn more about our online appointment function, go to the Make an Appointment page on our website, scroll to the bottom and click on “Learn more about online appointments.”
Our caring consultants are ready to provide you with a friendly, supportive conversation about your writing through a virtual experience that is as beneficial as our in-person consultations.
Should you be unable to meet with a consultant synchronously, we now offer an "e-tutoring" option in which we can provide feedback to your draft within two business days. Please email writing@buffalo.edu to arrange for "e-tutoring".
If you have questions or need assistance in navigating the WCOnline platform, please contact the CEW at writing@buffalo.edu .
