Howe Writing Center
In October, Miami will proudly open the Roger and Joyce Howe Student Center for Writing Excellence. The Centers mission will be to help all Miami students, even the most accomplished, enhance their writing ability and learn more through writing. Made possible by a magnificent gift of $10.5 million from Roger and Joyce Howe, the center is now situated in the middle of the main floor of King Library.
