Support the UWC and the JMU Learning Centers

You can support the University Writing Center and the JMU Learning Centers more broadly by donating to the JMU Learning Centers' Foundation account.

The Foundation account link above invites you to support the Learning Centers as a whole or to ask that your donation be directed to a specific JMU Learning Center center or even to a specific purpose.

JMU's Writing Lab opened in 1974. Betty Hoskins was joined by Nancy Farrar and Mary McMurray in 1976 and 1977, respectively. In 1998, the newly renamed Reading and Writing Resource Center moved to Wilson Hall. The UWC welcomed its first graduate consultant in 20062007 and its first team of undergraduate consultants in 20072008. In Fall 2014, we began helping JMU writers in our current Student Success Center home.

In the photo collage to the right, we assemble for the first time most of our UWC team from the past 17+ years. We know we're missing photos for a few of our people, and you can help.

If you've worked in the UWC as a consultant or as a writer over the past 17+ years, zoom in to see a bunch of a familiar faces!
