The Southern Miss Speaking Centers were designed to improve oral communication skills across the campus. As part of the University's Quality Enhancement Plan, the centers are available for all students, faculty and staff.

The Writing Center is a free tutorial service available to any USM student who wants assistance with a writing project. We offer one-to-one writing instruction that’s designed to help you become a more effective writer. We offer tutorial service on a walk-in basis or by appointment (on the hour for an hour). However, the appointments often book up several days in advance, so at some points during the year it is extremely difficult for us to have enough tutors available for walk in appointments--so making an appointment is always a good idea.
