Hi everyone,
I did not introduce myself before so let me do that now. After raising a family and helping in two family businesses, I returned to school ten years ago to learn how to write. I haven't stopped going since then. I am currently enrolled in Indiana University of Pennsylvania's Ph.D. Composition & TESOL program. I've worked in three different writing centers as an ug peer tutor, a graduate assistant, and an adjunct faculty tutor. I greatly enjoyed working with people from the local community and deeply believe in sharing our specialized knowledge with the community. I began teaching various English and composition courses as a fulltime adjunct at San Jacinto College in Houston in 2000 and moved to Pennsylvania last year. I am doing an independent study on community outreach and writing centers and hope to base my dissertation on this topic. I am not tutoring in a writing center at this point.
Tiffany, your list sounded engaging, and I agree with Melissa we need theoretical grounding. I am not sure what is involved with adding a community component to a writing center, but we could do whatever is needed to equip people for that.
Looking forward to working with you all,
Jennifer
