Did you know the Writing Center has officially moved to Ellis Library? Many students aren’t aware of this change, but it’s a great update. Now it’s easier than ever to get help with both writing and research in one place.

The Writing Center is an incredible resource for students who need support with essays, research papers, writing cover letters, or any other kind of writing project. Whether you’re just getting started and needing an outline or putting on the final touches, the Writing Center staff can help you strengthen your writing and build confidence in your work.

In the past, the Writing Center was located in the University of Missouri’s Student Success Center, with additional writing tutors located on the first floor of Ellis Library just above the cafe. This summer, the Writing Center officially moved to its new home inside Ellis Library, Room 115, just to the right of the North entrance, making it even more convenient to get both writing and research help when you’re already in the library studying.

You can drop-in for quick feedback or schedule a one-on-one appointment with a writing tutor. Make an appointment here: https://writingcenter.missouri.edu/ 

One major advantage of the new Ellis location is that writing help and research support are now in the same place. Since research consultations often also happen in 115 Ellis, you can get help with both your research and writing in a single visit. You’ll also be surrounded by study spaces, quiet reading areas, and plenty of academic resources.

So the next time you’re working on a paper, make an appointment or simply stop by Room 115 and make the most of this great campus resource.
