Our History

In 1987, a Ford Foundation grant entitled “The Empowerments of Literacy” brought together 30 University of Oklahoma faculty members from approximately 16 disciplines. The purpose of the project was to increase awareness of the central assumption that students gain intellectual power from writing.

The writing center at the University of Oklahoma opened in January 1989 as a direct result of the University’s commitment to empower students.

The University of Oklahoma’s continuing commitment to improving student writing was reflected by the expansion of the writing center to Bizzell Library in the spring of 2004. In 2008, the writing center moved to the new Lissa and Cy Wagner Student Learning Center.

The writing center partners with several departments, colleges, programs, and individuals to develop and support a deliberate campus-wide writing initiative. This “writing across the curriculum” approach is supported by the Office of the Provost and President Boren.
