Pol S/LSJ/CHID/JSIS Writing Center - Tutor Hiring Announcement

Do you enjoy writing?  Do your professors or TAs write comments like “great work,” “fantastic,” or “excellent point” on your essays?  Do you already give your peers good feedback on how to improve their papers?  If so, would you like to get paid for what you are doing already?!

If you can answer yes to the aforementioned questions, please consider applying for a position as a writing tutor for the Political Science/LSJ/Jackson School/CHID Writing Center.
