Embedded Writing Specialist (EWS)

Embedded Writing Specialists (EWSs) provide in-person and online writing support for students taking WRT 1020: Basic Writing or WRT 1050: Composition I. EWSs will attend class sessions, tutor students one-on-one about their writing, lead class activities, develop resource materials, and work closely with the course professor and EWS director to provide support to students.

For fall 2024, all WRT 1020 courses will have in person class meetings. The EWS will be required to attend in person class when it is held.
