ECU University Writing Center is currently seeking several Writing Consultants to work with ECU students, faculty, and staff to support writers with any type of writing at any point in the writing process through consultation and material development. If you are a naturally curious person and like learning from and with people across campus, consider becoming a writing consultant. We welcome applicants from all academic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. All we require is a willingness to learn and that you have successfully completed ENGL 1100. Graduate students who completed their writing requirements at other institutions are also welcome to apply.
A position at the ECU University Writing Center (UWC) offers you the opportunity to :
* Work with and learn from writers across disciplines;* Strengthen your own writing and research skills;* Learn about the field of writing centers.
In addition to working with writers, consultants answer emails, schedule appointments, design and provide workshops, and work on professional development projects. Projects include efforts to better their understanding of writing and the writing process and tasks that expand and support the work of the UWC.

Consulting:
Consultants primarily work with writers in-person in the UWC's Joyner Library location and online through the Online Writing Lab.

Consultants specialize in guiding writers to work on higher order concerns such as assignment goals, clear focus, thesis development, organization, audience awareness, and content development. Consultants also possess skills and resources to teach writers how to address lower order writing concerns including sentence structure, style, word choice, and punctuation.
