Undergraduate applications are available for undergraduate students to become peer consultants in the Center for Writing for 2007-08.
The Center for Writing is looking for responsible, compassionate people who are excited about writing and interested in working one-to-one with other student writers.

- Successfully complete a special course that will prepare you to work in the center during the fall semester while you consult
- Stay until you graduate
The benefits of being a writing consultant include:
- Joining a team of enthusiastic students
- Working in an intellectual environment
- Setting your own hours each semester
- Enjoying excellent pay rates
- Adding to your résumé
- Gaining valuable experience working with others
- Improving your communication, writing and reading skills
Applications are due at noon Friday, March 9.
