<Title>Doctoral Student Tutors- Please Share With Your Departments</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The UMBC Writing Center continues to support writers on campus through a research-based, peer-to-peer model. Peer tutors, themselves students at UMBC, support the writing students do for courses and for fulfillment of their degree programs. We recognize that our center predominantly serves undergraduate writers, and we understand the many ways that these writers and their contexts differ substantially from those of graduate-level writers. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>While some graduate writing support exists across programs at UMBC, more can be done to create an enduring network of mentorship through writing center programs. The writing centers at UMBC and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) have designed a pilot program to share resources for supporting the professional development and writing expertise of UMBC graduate writers. We need your help getting the word out to the students</div>
    <div>who might want to work with us.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <span>We are hiring UMBC graduate students, specifically doctoral students, to serve as Graduate Peer Writing Consultants (GPWCs). These GPWCs will tutor graduate writers at both UMBC and UMB, including those planning, writing, and revising theses and dissertations. GWCPs will undertake ongoing, rigorous training virtually and in-person at the UMB Writing Center in downtown Baltimore to develop their expertise in the practice and tutoring of advanced disciplinary writing. We have designed the position to accomplish three main</span><br><div>professional aims:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <span>● support the work writers do for courses and for fulfillment of degree requirements</span><br><span>● provide peer-to-peer mentorship that enhances UMBC graduate students’</span><br><span>understanding and practice of advanced disciplinary writing</span><br><span>● lay a research-based foundation for GPWCs to develop as future writing educators and mentors in the academy and beyond.</span><br><div><br></div>
    <div>Compensation starts at $17/hour, and all training is paid at this rate. The application period lasts from August 1 until September 4.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <span>Encourage students to learn more and apply at </span><a href="http://www.umaryland.edu/writing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.umaryland.edu/writing</a><span>.</span><br><span>Students and you can reach out to James Wright, Associate Director of the UMB Writing Center, at </span><a href="mailto:james.wright@umaryland.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">james.wright@umaryland.edu</a><span> with any questions.</span><br><span>Please share the attached flyer widely.</span><br><br><div>Thank you for your time and help.<br>

<Title>First Week Survival Kit: Day 2</Title>
<Tagline>Pack your Bag!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">One more sleep until classes start! Are you as excited as we are? Maybe it's nervous excitement...that's okay, too! We're so happy to see so many faces on campus this week, and can't wait to see even more of you starting tomorrow!<div><br></div>
    <div>Today's tip is to <em>pack your bag!</em> There's enough stress on the first morning of school without worrying too much about this. Getting into the habit of packing up the night before will help you stay calm and go to sleep without waking up constantly thinking about how you need to remember to pack your charger in the morning!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Don't leave your house/apartment/dorm room for the day until you've double- (or triple-) checked your bag for everything you need! Make sure you have:</div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Devices</li>
    <li>Textbooks (if you even have any of those...)</li>
    <li>Notebooks and writing implements</li>
    <li>Snacks</li>
    <li>Water bottle</li>
    <li>Phone, keys, wallet, student ID</li>
    <li>A sweatshirt (it can be coooooold in those lecture halls)</li>
    <li>Lunch, if you don't plan to get it on campus somewhere</li>
    <li>Medications, if applicable</li>
    <li>Anything else you might need!</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div>One more reminder: have you checked Blackboard and your UMBC email?? There might be some important reminders from your professors in there...</div>
