If you enjoy writing and talking about writing, and if you would enjoy a job helping other writers, then you should apply to be a Writing Associate in the College Writing Program. As a Writing Associate, you will spend an average of 6 hours a week (some weeks will be much busier) helping students from a variety of departments with their writing assignments. You will also attend workshops and weekly staff meetings. WAs are paid by stipend per semester.

REQUIREMENTS: Responsibility, discipline, patience, and the ability to communicate well in writing and in conversation. Writing Associates can be majors in any department. We welcome applicants from any major, particularly those with significant course work in biology, psychology, economics, or engineering. Successful applicants have normally earned a GPA of 3.0 or greater.

Deadline for fall 2006 applications is Monday, April 3, 4PM . Application form is available online.  For more information, contact the program administrators:
