A Welcome Message from the Director, Megan O'Neill

Welcome to the Writing Program at Stetson, where the goal is to help Stetson students develop into the writers we want Stetson University's graduates to be: thoughtful in consideration of multiple viewpoints, aware of differences and similarities in outlook, grounded in solid research, and authentic in voice.

Take advantage of our small Writing classes to hone your skills at effective written communication. Each of our professors brings years of teaching to the classroom to ensure a great learning experience for students. Among our distinguished teaching faculty are winners of awards for teaching excellence, authors of textbooks and handbooks, scholars in rhetoric, composition, and a range of literary genres, and creative and non-fiction authors.

The Writing Program also supports the University's writing-intensive First Year Seminars and Junior Seminars. By encouraging a writing-rich academic environment within and beyond the first year, the Writing Program fosters the development of essential writing skills: clarity, focus, development, an individual and engaging voice, and an awareness of the needs of an educated population.

To support students in their efforts, the Stetson University Writing Center, directed by Professor Maggie Herb, offers regular hours every week, Monday - Thursday from 3 - 9 p.m., with additional hours during times of need around midterms and finals. This tutoring lab is one of the most popular on campus: tutors offer assistance and guidance during all phases of a writing project. Bring your lab reports, your case studies, and your literature analyses! Tutors are available by dropping in at Flagler 209, or make an appointment by clicking here.
