What is a Writing Fellow?
A writing fellow is a Graduate Center doctoral candidate who is in the dissertation stage. Writing fellows spend their year writing their dissertations and working for a WAC program. They work closely with the WAC coordinator and assist faculty, programs, and departments in developing strategies to integrate writing into their teaching or their work with students. Writing fellows often do research on WAC-related issues, help develop assignments and syllabi, help create brochures and faculty events, and can participate in classes or offer writing specific segments in classes across the curriculum.
