University Writing invites nominations and applications for an endowed Professorship provided by AU Athletics in the name of Ralph “Shug” Jordan.

The Graduate Writing Partners Program pairs graduate students with a Miller Writing Center graduate writing consultant who works one-on-one to help them improve their writing abilities and become more effective communicators in their respective disciplines.
