Miller Writing Center Location Spotlight: Athletics

Tilt head for full effect.

This is the Student-Athlete Development Center (SADC). This is where athletes put their blood, sweat, and tears into training…. and their brains. This is also where one of the 6 Miller Writing Center locations is housed.

“There’s a Miller Writing Center location in the SADC?” you ask incredulously.

“Yes, we’re kind of like McDonalds.” I answer, setting up for a clever (read: “awful”) joke. “We’re everywhere, and we never go stale (for different reasons).”

Contrary to what many Auburn students might think, the Athletics location of the MWC is not just for student-athletes. All students with all types of writing are welcome here. This location has an ample schedule; it is open Sunday from 6-8PM and Monday-Thursday at 10-3PM and 5-9PM. It is located within the Athletics Complex at 392 South Donahue Drive near the intersection of Donahue and Samford. Worried about transportation? The Central East Tiger Transit Route drops off right across from the SADC at the South Donahue Residence Hall stop.

7 ways the Miller Writing Center is like Game of Thrones

1. Six kingdoms in Westeros                                 Six Writing Center

                                                                                  locations

Kingdom of the Riverlands                                        Athletics Complex

Kingdom of the Vale                                                  Multicultural Center

Kingdom of the North                                                RBD

Kingdom of the Rock                                                 Forestry

Kingdom of the Stormlands                                       Architecture Library

Kingdom of the Reach                                               Learning Commons

2. We forgot the Kingdom of Dorne? Well, you forgot we work with

Creative writing, engineering, science reports, research papers, etc. Not just English essays.

           

3. There are nine major houses in Westeros... And we see at least as many types of writing:

Unfinished Outlines

History essays

Theses

Research Papers

English Papers

Creative Writing

*Dragons

Dissertations

Engineering Reports

4. The Night's Watch must fight daily in the cold and dark to keep the wildlings from breaking past the wall and overwhelming the South.

The embattled consultants of the Miller Writing Center fight daily in the well-lit warmth to keep theses and deadlines from breaking past the bounds of students’ sanity.

 

5. Each house has its motto. “Winter is coming,” “A Lannister always pays his debts” and “We do not sow.”

At the Miller Writing Center, our mottos are “Improving the writer, not the writing,” “Reaching every writer” and “We do not edit.”

 

6. Maesters serve kings and rulers across Westeros, helping lords get messages out to both kings and others around the world in a coherent manner.

Writing Center Consultants serve the students of Auburn, helping them get messages out to both professors and the writing community just as clearly.

7. The cast of the Game of Thrones television show is a group of attractive, photogenic actors who are extremely good at their jobs.

Enough said.

*The Writing Center is not responsible for the feeding or care of any live dragons brought to a session.
