W3. Negotiating the Middle Place: A Workshop to Equip Graduate Administrators In this interactive workshop, we’ll identify the sometimes dizzying roles and duties of graduate student administrators in order to brainstorm strategies around time management, communication, and professional development. We will address these frequently asked questions: How do we accomplish long-term objectives and attend to the “right-now” demands of our centers? How do we create collaborative relationships with tutors while also mentoring them in a professional way? As student leaders in our writing centers, can we nurture our own professional and scholarly development? What kind of support should we expect from our writing center director? We encourage current graduate administrators, future graduate administrators, and undergraduate tutors interested in continuing their writing center experience as administrators to join us in this exploratory workshop and discussion. |
