Do you want to be a Writing Fellow?
Students: Do you want to join a close-knit community of high-performing scholars? Do you like supporting your peers? Then you want to be a Writing Fellow!!
Writing Fellows are embedded tutors, assigned to a specific writing-intensive class for the duration of a semester. In this role, Writing Fellows collaborate with their faculty partners to coach and support all of the students enrolled in the course. Fellows gain hands-on teaching experience and develop personalized tutoring strategies.
Some of the benefits of this experiential learning program include:
- Make $2000 for summer training in linguistic theory, tutoring, and teaching
- Work collaboratively with faculty to help foster a healthy culture of writing on campus
- Learn how academic communication varies across different disciplines and improve your writing strategies and skills
- Develop research projects in writing studies and present at academic conferences
- Build your resume for graduate school applications
- Work at the Writing Center during the academic terms, starting at $15.15 per hour
If this sounds like the right program for you, sign up here to attend an informational zoom meeting [click], where you will learn about the program application timeline/expectations, the interview/selection process, and details about the summer training. This is a great opportunity to meet current Writing Fellows and see if the program is a good fit for you! Please contact Mairin Barney at ebarney@towson.edu for more information.
