The purpose of all CWA activities is to create, support and further undergraduate and graduate opportunities for the study of writing at Northwestern, both within CWA itself and across the university; to facilitate a continuing discussion in the university community about how best to foster and situate writing as a crucial part of a university education; to help coordinate the university's multifarious courses and programs in writing across departments, programs and schools; and also to welcome audiences from the metropolitan area to the rich array of public events on campus that are focused on writing.

The Center sponsors Visiting Writers in Residence who teach for one quarter.

The Center also offers a two-quarter freshman seminar called "Modes of Writing," which is team-taught, and led by a distinguished faculty member of the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
