Welcome to The CGU Center for Writing & Rhetoric!

If you cannot attend your appointment, you must cancel at least 12 hours in advance.

Check out the CWR website for more information about our events and services!

The CWR is always open to critique and recognizes itself as a space that still exists within an institution that is structured around Standard American English. In the spirit of our ongoing commitment to develop our learning community’s pedagogy towards inclusive practices and programming, we have adopted and published our evolving Anti-Discrimination Commitments. 

In solidarity with movements against state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the CWR acknowledges the relationship between language and systems of oppression. As consultants at the writing center, we commit to holding ourselves accountable, intervening productively in situations of discrimination and racism. Our approach to tutorship is collaborative and we work with respect for students’ individual agency and expertise. We take seriously our opportunities to combat how discrimination is perpetuated through structures of academic language. 

The CWR makes the commitment to anti-racist practice and pedagogy through affirmation, solidarity, and a commitment to openness to dialogue and critique. We acknowledge that the CWR is a space for learning and growth, for both our consultants and our students. Our full Anti-Discrimination Commitment Statement elaborates on the CWR’s commitments and practices. To report an experience you have had with the CWR that does not coincide with our anti-discrimination commitments, please complete the CWR Submit a Report Form. Additionally, you can share a concern by submitting an incident report form to the Dean of Students Office.
