Being rigorous does not have to mean being cruel.
We can have high standards and also be kind in how we communicate them.
We can choose to support people in achieving their best rather than tearing them down when they fall short.
Our Writing Center is beginning the process of transitioning to an all-subjects center! Today I hosted a training retreat for all 50 Fellows who specialize in writing, math and science. Exciting times ahead! @EpiscopalBR#sswca#writingcenter#peertutoring

Thesis students are working to identify and craft their project’s core message efficiently and powerfully. A fun game of “telephone” helped reveal some ways to revise! We believe that every student has something of significance to share ❤️
Today we discussed the complexity of academic writing and the potential benefits of making scholarship clear and more accessible. Following an exercise in the piece we read, Thesis students tweeted the central message of their work using as many emojis as possible 🌟 We had fun!
As the SSWCA board transitions for 2022-2023, we want to give a HUGE thank you to all our 2021-2022 board members! Your ideas and work have strengthened our organization. And welcome to our new board members. We're excited to have your insights and dedication!
There has been a flurry of activity in the Writing Center this year. Director Katie Sutcliffe shares an update on what Writing Fellows and Math Tutors have accomplished. Plus, read a tribute to this year’s seniors. https://t.co/61KewKB4Gj
@ImCharlieRoth@birbigs@MadeleineLeBeau That’s amazing! I always loved to use Stranger in the Night from This American Life in both my podcast class and creative nonfiction to introduce storytelling. What an incredible opportunity, Charlie!
