The goal of the Writing and Wellbeing Fellowship is to build a cohort of faculty who are thriving via mindful writing and teaching practices. Fellows will meet biweekly for 8 sessions during the fall semester (about two hours each). During these meetings, we will learn the relevant practices, reflect, create materials, and build community with one another. Fellows will earn a stipend of $1600.

The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Fellowship is designed for instructors of any rank who want to enhance students’ learning and elevate their discipline-specific critical thinking in any curricular context. WAC Fellows will engage in a structured process of inquiry, augmented by generative artificial intelligence, focused on teaching writing as a mode of disciplinary learning, engagement, and communication. The WAC Fellowship includes 8 meetings every other Wednesday. Upon completion of a packet of teaching materials and a reflective narrative, Fellows will earn a stipend of $1600.

The Miller Writing Center is open for the fall semester from August 24 to December 4. We are open on Sunday from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We are closed September 6-7 for Labor Day Weekend, October 8-9 for Fall Break, and November 22-27 for Thanksgiving Break. 

Auburn students, faculty, and staff can get free, one-on-one feedback from a Miller Writing Center peer consultant on any writing or communication project at any point in the process. Make up to three in-person, online, or asynchronous appointments per week through Advise Assist.

Need help carving out time for writing? Join our weekly Graduate Studio writing sessions, a supportive space where you’ll write alongside fellow graduate students, with optional guidance from a research librarian and graduate writing consultant. Participants can customize their experience by arriving when it works for them, staying for as much of the 1:00–4:00 session as they would like, and focusing on their individual writing goals. Each session includes quiet writing time, goal setting, and individual support, along with snacks and celebrations of your progress. This program is open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

The Studio runs every Tuesday from September 1 through November 17 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the University Writing Studio (RBD Library 2056).

Graduate students working on longer projects—such as a thesis, dissertation, ePortfolio, or piece for publication—are invited to register for WriteFest. Over four sessions, participants will explore and practice mindfulness-based habits and skills that support their wellbeing and productivity while writing.

Sessions will be held on the following dates from 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.: September 2, 9, 16, and 23.

We live in a distracting world. With social media, GenAI, and a mile-long to-do list, it can be hard to concentrate on reading, writing, teaching, or learning. In this WriteBites session, we will consider how mindfulness can help improve focus and attention, and we will practice techniques like meditation and journaling.

The Miller Writing Center is closed September 6-7 in observance of Labor Day. Regular hours resume Tuesday, September 8.
