Honors Writing Fellows are available in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 to help CLAS instructors who require at least two major writing assignments in courses with 20 to 45 undergraduates.

Writing Fellows are specially selected Honors Program undergraduate students who have been trained in peer tutoring of writing across the curriculum. They work closely with instructors to learn their goals for the course and the purpose of each of the two major writing assignments.

Each Writing Fellow works with about 8-14 students in an instructor’s class. Fellows respond to drafts of the first paper before midterm and drafts of the second paper after midterm. They provide written feedback to students on two writing assignments during the semester, and also meet with students for individual conferences.

If you are interested in participating in the Honors Writing Fellows Program and working with fellows, please contact Carol Severino, Professor of Rhetoric. Visit https://writingcenter.uiowa.edu/writing-fellows for more information. Instructors of GE Rhetoric and GE Diversity and Inclusion courses of between 20 and 45 undergraduates are particularly welcome
