About Us
The Writing Studio at Union Adventist University is unique among writing centers because it models Jesus, the Living Word of God, who teaches us a personal, communal, reciprocal, and transformational way—a gospel way—of knowing and communicating. Because we promote the knowledge and practice of faith, hope, and love in learning and living, our mission is: * to assist writers and speakers through dialogue and personalized instruction in producing innovative, sound, and meaningful research and presentations in and across their disciplines and communities * to encourage writers and speakers to touch both local and global communities through writing and speaking that ennobles humanity and honors God Writing center specialist Stephen North declares, "Our job is to produce better writers, not better writing." At the Studio and Union College, we believe our calling is to produce better writers, speakers, and better lovers of Christ. In fact, we are persuaded that the process of invention, revision, and delivery resemble the process of growing in Jesus. Good writing and speaking is like sanctification: the work of a lifetime. Our purpose is to provide an environment where such life-writing and life-speaking occurs.
