The Writing Workshop consists of about 50 students who are paid to tutor other students in writing and public speaking. After being nominated by a faculty member, candidates are interviewed by the Workshop's supervisor(s), and some are selected to become tutors the following school year. Supervised by Joyce Foster and led this year by Noah Susskind and Godfrey Bakuli, the workshop offers services in the following areas:

Drop-in Shifts
The Workshop is open from 8 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday in the back of Schow Science Library and on the top floor of Sawyer Library. You can sign up for a half-hour slot or just drop by and hope a tutor is available. This year's tutor schedule will be posted at the beginning of the fall semester.
Other services of the workshop require special arrangements. (Sorry, no drop-ins.) They are:
English as a Second Language (or third, or...)
The Workshop also has tutors trained to help foreign students with their English prose. Contact Kim Fassler or Alexandra Letvin.
Murphy Wing
Students who would like to work with one tutor on a regular basis for a semester should contact Dianne Pfundstein. (Take note that Dianne is just the coordinator, and will not necessarily be your permanent tutor.)
Speech Workshop
The speech workshop is for anyone who would like help with a presentation or public speech. Contact: Amanda Whiting.
