Writing Center
Coe's Writing Center is the largest undergraduate writing center in the nation. There are about 70 students on staff for the 2008–2009 academic year.
The Coe Writing Center opened in September 1986 with a staff of seven writing consultants directed by Robert L. Marrs, professor of rhetoric. Since that first year, the CWC has grown in size and influence on campus, currently conducting over 2,000 student conferences per year. Staff members have published dozens of articles and essays in professional journals and have given over 80 presentations at state, regional, and national conferences. Most recent conferences have included the Midwest Writing Center Association conference in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The CWC also produces and distributes several campus publications, including The Pearl, Colere, Coetry, and the Coe Quarto.
