C.A.R.E. Certification

The CBU Writing and Communications Corner is recognized by the Southeastern Writing Center Association (SWCA) as a C.A.R.E. Certified Center.

 The Center Acknowledgment and Recognition of Excellence (CARE) program certifies writing centers that are committed to literacy, learning, and writing. The CARE program establishes professional criteria relevant to diverse local contexts, providing writing centers the opportunity to articulate their unique stories and celebrate their accomplishments.

Currently, CARE is the only certification by the writing center community for the writing center community. Benefits of certification include:

• Strategic planning and meaningful reflection among writing center administrators, tutors, and campus partners
• Feedback on the center’s work from colleagues in the profession
• A way to highlight the value of the program to external audiences such as institutional administrators
