1 The UST Center for Writing Before you write, as you write, and after you write Graduate Peer Consultant Application Please note: You must be a student in the M.A. Program in English to apply to become a graduate peer consultant. Due: Friday, March 10, noon JRC 361 Questions? Contact Dr. Susan Callaway, Director sjcallaway@stthomas.edu
2 The UST Center for Writing Graduate Application Spring 2017 All Students in the Masters Program in English: Each year, I hire two students from the M.A. Program to work for the academic year as peer writing consultants in the Center for Writing. The students experiences have been overwhelmingly positive: they have gained insight into working with a great variety of students first year, graduate students, multilingual on many types of papers from literary analyses to Masters theses to personal statements. They have improved their own writing, their interpersonal communication skills, and their intercultural competence. I invite you to apply to become a peer writing consultant and to be a part of a thriving community of writers for the upcoming academic year. Working in the Center for Writing will give you direct experience supporting students as well as in writing center administration. You will gain a working knowledge of current writing center theory and practice and the teaching of writing. You will consult in the community. All of these can help you deepen your understanding of your own writing and establish strong practical and theoretical foundations for future employment. Furthermore, working in the Center can increase your confidence in your own writing and make you more marketable as a writer, teacher, or administrator. The Center for Writing has been in existence for over 35 years. We strive to serve students from undergraduate to graduate in most programs. We typically have a staff of over 20, mostly undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines, who stay until they graduate. We also have an ESL Specialist, Suzanne Donsky, and of course two graduate students from the M.A. Program in English. As a graduate consultant, your responsibilities would include: working one-on-one with both graduate and undergraduate students for the academic year; keeping records on those sessions; assisting with administrative duties. As a graduate peer writing consultant, you can work fall or spring semester or both, 3-10 hours per week during hours of your choosing. You ll earn $15 an hour. We are open Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m.-12 noon, and Sundays 6-9 p.m. You need to be enrolled as a student at UST during any semester you work in the Center. You also need to take the peer consultant training course, Theory and Practice of Writing (which you would take as GENG 598), in the fall when you begin consulting for graduate credit. The course, which I teach, will be offered this next fall on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 1:35 2:40pm. You ll do extensive reading in the theory and practice of teaching writing, talk about your conferences with your colleagues, and discuss the ways in which this theory and practice intersect. There is also a service learning component in the class for all consultants through which you ll be working as a writing mentor at Wellstone International High School in Minneapolis. To earn graduate credit, you ll lead a class session and conduct research on a topic of your choice concerning writing. Through this teaching, research and writing, the peer consulting course provides you with an excellent grounding in composition theory and practice.
3 Currently, Rachel Busse and Stephanie Smith are working as graduate peer consultants. Feel free to speak with either of them about their experiences so far this year, and you are welcome to make an appointment with either of them to work on your own writing or learn more about the consulting process. The application deadline is Friday, March 10th, Once you submit your application, I will review it and then have an interview with you. This is our chance to get to know one another, so bring any questions you might have. In the meantime, if you haven t done so already, I highly encourage you to bring some of your writing into the Center to work with either Rachel or Stephanie. You ll be able to learn more about your writing, see how we work, and talk to a grad consultant, too. Please know that the best candidates for peer consulting demonstrate insight into the nature of the writing process and are good writers. They listen actively and communicate effectively. Most of all, good consultants are compassionate and understanding of the difficulties we all face in our writing and reading. I hope you ll consider becoming a part of the Center for Writing and bringing your energy and expertise to other students. If you have any questions at all before or as you re completing the application, feel free to contact me at (651) or sjcallaway@stthomas.edu. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Dr. Susan J. Callaway Director, UST Center for Writing Associate Professor, English

5 III. Response to student writing. There are no typical conferences in the Center for Writing as writers of varying experience come to the Center with writing in a variety of stages. Some may want help brainstorming or forming an outline, while others may bring what they consider a final draft. Attached you will find a sample essay written by a first year student. The assignment is asking them to research a particular figure and analyze their impact or influence. We stress the importance of conversation with writers; if you write on the essay, do so for your own purposes, not to address the student. Read the essay, keeping in mind a dialogue you would have with the student. Assume they have met with the professor about the draft. Then, provide brief but concise responses to the following questions: What would you describe as the two major concerns for this piece of writing? In your estimation, what does the student do well? What stands out as the greatest strength of this essay? What questions might you ask of this student? What would you hope to discuss first? What plans for revision would you encourage for him or her? IV. Submit a sample critical or analytical paper with your application. This should be a recent paper you ve written for a course in the M.A. Program in English that exhibits your abilities to critically analyze a literary text, incorporate theory in your thinking, and write concisely. Along with your submission, respond to the following questions in a brief reflection: Why have you selected this paper? Was this a challenging assignment for you? Which aspects are you proud of in this paper? Do you have any remaining concerns or areas you would like to revise? Attach your responses to the sample paper. Note: Do not revise this paper before you submit it VI. Visit the Center for Writing if you have time. See how we work. VII.

6 Student Writing Sample You all know Bill Gates. When you hear that name you think Billionaire or Lucky, but you haven t really looked deep enough. Bill is more than a rich, lucky businessman. He has worked very hard to get where he is today. When he was in college, he thought long and hard about a problem. And then he thought of how to fix it. Bill Gates is an inventor. He did what all inventors do: they think of a problem, and invent a way to make it better or easier. Bill thought of computers, how they didn t do anything that an ordinary person could use them for. So Bill invented software for a computer. All of a sudden, people could make spreadsheets to handle calculations! They could type things just like a typewriter except with perfect erasing tools! But before this happened, work was necessary. Bill and a friend or two spent all of their working (and sometimes sleeping) hours working on turning his dream into reality, and after months of intense work they finally finished with products that helped millions of people worldwide. Being an inventor is great, but to profit from it you must be a good businessman. And Bill Gates is that, also. Not only is he good at business, he is good at marketing and advertising. That is how he was able to get some of the smartest minds in the United States to join his entrepreneurial escapade, Microsoft. That good business mind of Bill s soon had his company selling a whole lot of this new software to people around the United States. Still, Bill released breakthrough after breakthrough, introducing Windows, a software program designed to make personal computers even more user friendly. And making billions of dollars didn t stop him. If most people were him, they would probably just leave the company and say, I don t need to deal with this anymore; I m a billionaire! But Bill Gates stays at Microsoft, even being attacked by lawyers, worrying about other competition, and trying to stay ahead. Business is really war. Today he still faces a score of problems. People confronting him in anti-trust lawsuits, and other companies trying hard to pull Microsoft down from its king-of-the-hill position. Many people still think Bill is so luck that he has it easy, but he doesn t. Money isn t everything. Bill Gates is my hero because he is a hard worker, and a smart and careful thinker. If I had to choose someone whom I respect a whole lot, it would have to be him. Never giving up, always working on and on, putting up with the criticism. Putting up with the public s opinion of him. Just letting them push around when he could just say, That s it. I quit! and leave. Still, he goes through with this every day. And people saw he has it easy. Wow, I don t want to know what their idea of hard is!
