Our Writing Fellow's Research Projects

The Writing Fellow Research Consortium is an essential part of our Writing Center Program that is aimed to demonstrate the research projects of writing fellows who are enrolled in the second (WCS 391) and third (WCS 392) courses of the Writing Fellow Sequence. This is a crucial event since our Fellows present their research projects based on a variety of research issues of interest in peer tutoring and writing center scholarship that they have been exploring from the perspective of our concrete and immediate context.
