Do you love to write? Are you the person to whom friends always turn to say, “Hey, could you help me with this paper?” If so, please consider applying to become a peer undergraduate consultant!
The GW Writing Center is a lively, collaborative, learning environment with paid consultants (making $12.50/hour) who come from a diverse array of disciplines. Most of our applicants are currently first-year students or sophomores, who will then go on to work in the Writing Center for several years, but juniors are also welcome to apply!
We’ve now opened the application process for the next cohort of undergraduate consultants interested in training to work in the Center. Applications will be due on Thursday, February 18th.
Find the application materials at http://writingcenter.gwu.edu/
The application requires the following:
- a cover letter,
- a CV or resume,
- two recommendations,
- a writing sample with an attached reflection
From the applicant pool, we select the best candidates and move into interviews. Students whose interviews suggest they’ll be a good match for work in the Center are invited to take a 3-credit “Pedagogy and Praxis” course in fall 2016 (note that this course will receive WID credit). Students who successfully complete the course are then invited to work as paid consultants in spring 2017.
