Personal Statement

As a member of the writing faculty in the English Department and the Writing Program Administrator, I can answer any questions you might have about the Writing Concentration offered as part of the English major. In addition, I also serve as the faculty internship supervisor for the department. Be in touch with me to talk about possible internships that count for credit towards graduation(many are paid as well). You have more options than you think. Finally, for more information about the kinds of classes I teach and the way that I teach them, please visit my website at the link listed on this page.There you'll find lots of information about the kinds of writing and reading students do with me. Don't let it make you nervous: it takes a whole semester to get through everything. Also on that page: you'll find links to other reading/writing opportunities available to you in the English Department and around campus. I hope to hear from you.
