Undergraduate Student Services at the WCC
Writing and communication are part of every field at Missouri S&T. Whether you’re working on your first college paper, preparing a presentation, applying for a scholarship, impressing a potential employer, or polishing a senior-level project, the Writing and Communication Center is here to help.
WCC consultants work with undergraduate students from all majors, at all levels, and at any stage of the process. You don’t need to have a finished draft—and you don’t need to be struggling—to schedule a session.

In-Person
Visit us in the Writing & Communication Center to discuss your project in person. This is our favorite kind of appointment! Our conversations are more fruitful face-to-face, of course. But also, some projects could use the brainpower of more than one coach. If you are open to it, other members of our team might join the discussion about your project, and suddenly you've got an impromptu focus group to test your ideas.
Synchronous
If you can't make it to the WCC but would still like to have a realtime conversation, you can schedule a synchronous appointment with us. During synchronous appointments, we'll meet via Teams (or Zoom) and we'll work through your project together. You can ask questions about our feedback, and we can clarify muddy points together. All you'll need is a stable internet connection and any prompts or drafts you'd like to discuss.
Asynchronous
You're busy. We get it! You're maxing out your time with classes and design teams, and you're still trying to have a social life. Maybe you can't make it to the WCC for an hour, but you'd still like our help with a project before it's due. When you schedule an asynchronous appointment with us, a WCC coach will review your document and leave as much feedback as possible during the hour you've selected. At the end of that hour, you'll receive an email with our feedback on your document. You can do this as often as you'd like!
What to Expect from a WCC Session
A WCC session is a conversation about your work and your goals. We won’t take over your project or simply correct it for you. Instead, your consultant will help you identify priorities, explore possibilities, and develop strategies for moving forward. Come with whatever you have—an assignment prompt, some notes, a partial draft, a nearly finished project, or simply an idea.
Our goal is for you to leave with greater clarity about your work and a plan for what to do next.
Our goal is not to “fix” your writing for you. Instead, your consultant will work with you to identify priorities, talk through options, and develop strategies you can use both on your current project and in future work.
