Public Writing Initiative

Who are we?

The Public Writing Initiative (PWI) is a branch of The Writing Center @ Penn State Learning that serves as a resource for student writers and writing teachers. Our mission is to provide opportunities for instructors to bring public writing into the classroom, and for students to consider the importance of writing for audiences outside the classroom.

Your turn.

We’ve got something for everyone.
