<h3><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">Dear Department Chairs and Directors,<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">My name is Kara Kynion, and I’m the Assistant Director of the KU Writing Center. We are currently accepting applications for our Undergraduate Writing Fellows program for Spring 2019. Writing
Fellows are undergraduate writing consultants who are “embedded” in the course, working with the course instructor and students for the entire semester. I’m emailing with the hopes that you will circulate this in your department to faculty who may be teaching
a course with writing, where a Writing Fellow may be appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">The KU Writing Center first piloted writing fellows in 2012, and since then, we’ve been in courses in a variety of levels and disciplines—like Humanities, American Studies, History, English,
Biology, and Geology, just to name a few. Through our Writing Fellows program we hope to support students in their writing and faculty in the teaching of writing. Please see the blurb below for more information and application link.
<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">Thank you for your time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
<o:p></o:p></span></h3>

<span style="font-family:-webkit-standard;color:black">Writing Fellows (WFs) are undergraduate students who are trained as peer writing consultants and who are paired with a specific course for the entire semester. WFs promote writing in the classroom, collaborating
with faculty and helping students better understand writing assignments, brainstorm content, and revise drafts to successfully present their thoughts and ideas. They serve as facilitators of student learning, largely in part by providing constructive critique
of student writing, but also through in-class workshops and facilitated peer review sessions.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
