All majors are encouraged to apply!
If you're interested in working at the writing center, plan to take either English 113: Writing Center Theory & Practice or English 113EL: Writing Center Theory & Practice (ELSJ). These courses teach students how to assist writers throughout the writing process. The courses highlight why being a writing partner is much more than simply being an editor.
ENGL 113EL or ENGL 113 are most often offered during spring quarter. One of the courses is offered each academic year.
If you have any questions about ENGL 113EL, ENGL 113, or about working at the center, contact Denise Krane (dkrane@scu.edu).
