Do you know students who are excellent writers and have strong interpersonal skills? He or she may be a good candidate to become a tutor at the Writing Center.
"Writing is such an important skill in every discipline, and all students can benefit throughout their four years from the feedback and support in developing writing and thinking that the Writing Center provides," says Mary Mar, the center’s director.
Mar is seeking sophomores and juniors in a variety of disciplines who have strong interpersonal skills and would be good at helping others improve their writing. Each student nominated will be invited to apply to the paid position as a tutor next year and will receive training in how to work with others to improve their ability.
“Tutoring is a wonderful learning experience, and most tutors really enjoy the intellectual challenge,” she said.
