Students at The University of Southern Mississippi have access to individualized assistance with writing assignments for any course through the University’s Writing Center on the Hattiesburg campus. The center offers personalized assistance at any stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, developing an outline, conducting research, and learning proofreading skills.

The Writing Center is centrally located in Cook Library 112 between Starbucks and The Speaking Center.
