- Work closely with a team of undergraduate lead consultants to design and implement weekly professional development lessons centering on timely, practical topics.
- Supervise the program administrator who oversees writing center logistics and data, cooperating to set goals and check progress, as well as conducting annual performance reviews.
- Collaborate with University Writing coworkers as needed to ensure success in the writing center, faculty development, graduate programs, marketing, and office operations.
- Forge strong relationships with key writing center partners, especially with leaders of Academic Support, the University Libraries, and Career Discovery & Success.
