What We Do

The Business Writing Center serves the undergraduate community in the Tippie College of Business.

Every semester, we work in conjunction with a series of Writing-Intensive courses, including the following:

  • Foundations of Business
  • Introduction to Marketing
  • Introduction to Management
  • Introduction to Law
  • Financial Accounting Reports
  • Entrepreneurship & New Business Formation
  • Security Analysis
  • Individuals, Teams, & Organizations
  • Honors Seminar
  • Tippie Scholars Program Seminar

We collaborate closely with the professors and TAs of our consulting courses, studying writing assignments, developing pertinent handouts, giving presentations in classes, AND seeing each student individually. Professors interested in working with the Business Writing Center should contact the Director, Jessica Renaud, at jessica-renaud@uiowa.edu.

We will work with business majors on any paper, whether or not a particular professor requires students to make appointments.
We work with both individuals and groups. Team projects are an important aspect of business writing. Group writing assignments require certain critical collaborative writing and editing skills.

Our goal is to work student teams through a series of important steps in collaborative writing:

• Collating research
• Writing individual sections with an eye toward the whole
• Using targeted checklists to measure results
• Cycling documents twice at the final stage
