Writing Fellows - 
The Writing Fellows Perspective
Writing Fellows are students from a wide range of disciplines trained to help students learn to help themselves with writing by giving thoughtful feedback on drafts of projects and specific suggestions on how to revise those drafts.
Writing Fellows work as peer coaches, conferencing with students individually about their assignments. Writing Fellows have previously taken the course from the participating instructor and are selected because of their strong written and interpersonal communication skills. Participation is considered an academic honor; Writing Fellows receive honors designation on their transcript and a stipend each semester they are in the program. Writing Fellows receive intensive training from the WAC specialist and work closely with their instructor.

What Writing Fellows say:

"I believe I have become a more reader-friendly writer."

"It gives students another opportunity to succeed."

"The strongest feature of this program is the unique relationship between the student, fellow and teacher."
