If you enjoy writing, talking about writing, and helping other writers, then you should apply to be a WA. We accept majors from any department. Applicants with significant course work in biology, psychology, economics, or engineering are welcome.

As a WA, 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 a fixed stipend per semester.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Responsibility
• Discipline
• Patience
• The ability to communicate well in writing and conversation.
• A minimum GPA of 3.0

The deadline for Fall applications is in April of each year (For 2008, the deadline is Friday, the 11th, at 4 pm, EST).

A paper application form is available at the Watt Writing Room (Pardee 319).  For more information, contact the program administrators:
