This is Buddy, Diana Dawson's newest pal and the unofficial mascot of the Moody Writing Support Program. Buddy loves belly rubs, chewing things and silently correcting your grammar.

Our writing coaches at Moody College of Communication - UT Austin won't simply silently correct your grammar. They work diligently to help their peers become better writers. And while we can't have Buddy with us every day to cheer people up, our coaches do a great job of making students feel more confident in their ability to complete their assignments.

We have until 10 p.m. tonight to raise money to hire more coaches through . 40for40.utexas.edu/moodywriting.

We appreciate any help you can give us -- and Buddy appreciates you, too!

Happy ninth anniversary to MWSP! We are so grateful to all of the current and past writing coaches that continue to help students become more confident writers. Our coaches provide a wonderful, intelligent, and collaborative environment and it such a privilege to work amongst such talent. We are so lucky to be supported by UT Austin's Moody College of Communication and all of the professors and directors in Moody who understand the importance of our work at MWSP. Finally, our program would not be what it is today if it weren't for our amazing founder, Diana Dawson. We are so grateful for everything that she does!
