Literacy Centers on Campus
The Multiliteracy Centers, comprised of the University Writing Center, the University Speaking Center, and the Digital Action, Consultation, and Training (ACT) Studio, provide communication support for students, faculty, and staff in two ways: through one-on-one and group sessions that focus on dialogic feedback and through customized classroom workshops that address specific learning objectives. Consulting sessions focus on conversations about the writing, speaking and digital designing process; these sessions promote a collaborative, non-hierarchal approach that sees consultants who work with writers, speakers or digital designers as participants in a learner-centered exchange that values shared knowledge.
The University Speaking Center provides consultation support and instructional workshop services for UNCG students, faculty, employees, and members of the Greensboro community. Our support is designed to help speakers further develop their own oral communication confidence and competence. We provide peer-to-peer feedback, guidance, and other support in the areas of public speaking preparation and delivery, interpersonal communication, and group or team communication.
The Speaking Center is located along with the Writing Center in 3211 MHRA. We are on the third floor. MHRA is on the corner of Forest and Spring Garden – across the street from the Mossman Building.
The Digital ACT (Action, Consultation, and Training) Studio supports students, faculty, and staff in their effective creation or incorporation of digital media into projects. Consultants act as a trained, engaged audience, providing feedback on slide presentations, video projects, podcasts, digital photography, websites, and blogs by offering collaborative, dialogue-based consultations
The Digital ACT Studio is located in the lower level of Jackson Library.
The UNCG Writing Center's mission is to connect writers with readers. This helps to make good writers better writers. It also encourages writers to develop an awareness about themselves that will help them after they leave the Writing Center. To support this philosophy, our center practices a collaborative approach to sessions, where students and consultants engage in one-on-one conversations about writing—conversations that center on shared knowledge and expertise, as opposed to hierarchical instruction that treats writing center sessions as remediation.
