The University Writing Center is recruiting undergrad writers who want to learn more about writing, people, the University, and themselves by becoming writing center tutors. Fellows work offers opportunities to learn and work in a supportive, pre-professional environment. Fellows practice professional skills before venturing into the job market or grad school. As tutors, fellows learn more about writing as they talk with UWC clients about their writing.
Fellows learn more about writing and about tutoring in class.
When they're ready, they apply what they learn by working 5 hours a week in the University Writing Center, learning to tutor with the support of veteran fellows and faculty tutors. Complete the Writing Fellows Application . It asks you to prepare an application folder which should include two papers you've written for classes in the past, two letters of recommendation from faculty, and a cover letter. After turning in application folders, fellows candidates participate in informal group interviews with one or two other applicants and Tere Hogue. Candidates will discuss short writing samples, ask questions, and receive detailed information about becoming a fellow.
