The Writing Center at DePaul University is staffed by a diverse team of undergraduate students, graduate students, and professional staff members and administrators. Each one of us brings our unique writing experiences, traditions, knowledge, and backgrounds to our work.
In addition to serving as a Writing Center tutor, you will hold multiple roles in your time working for us—sometimes as many as three or four in a given quarter. Each role is vital to the Writing Center's mission at DePaul.
