Undergraduate Writing Fellows Program

We are please to announce the Undergaduate Writing Fellows program. Undergraduate Writing Fellows are a group of highly talented, carefully selected, and extensively trained undergraduates who serve as peer writing tutors in classes all across DePaul University. Fellows make thoughtful and extensive revision-oriented comments upon drafts of assigned papers and then confer one-on-one for a substantial amount of time with each student in an effort to help students make smart, significant revisions to their papers before the papers are turned in for a grade. To fill out an application and/or learn more about this program, please click this link to visit the Writing Fellows page.
