Writing CenterIf you work in the Writing Center, you’ll have regular hours, which will allow you plenty of scheduled study time off the clock.
If something comes up, like a conference you plan to attend, just ask one of the other GAs to cover your shifts and be willing to do the same for them .If your class schedule changes from one semester to the next, just talk with Dr. Lawson or Dr. Rogers and they’ll likely be willing to accommodate your new schedule accordingly. |

“I think most important to working there, as involves academia, is having conversations with the supervisors. For example, during the beginning of the semester, many of my hours are offsite, meaning I work outside of the writing center quite a bit, often about half the time for the first four weeks. While this seems ideal, it is often alienating in that you miss opportunities to connect to coworkers and don't have the same understanding of some larger projects that they have. If you want to be on the same page as everyone else, you can't be afraid to ask questions, particularly of Drs. Lawson and Rogers.” - Josh Whicker, Creative Writing and Writing Center GA
