Last weekend, the campus was swarmed by high school seniors who are accepted to Coe. The Writing Center held their Fellowship Competition which brought back some good memories. When I came a year ago, I met Heidi, a fair amount of the current consultants, really saw the Writing Center, and had a good time. Unfortunately, I couldn't do an overnight because I had a band show in Mt. Horeb on that Friday night, so my day was jammed pack. Just remembering the day brought back a lot of good memories and I was psyched to meet our future consultants.
After class, I helped out with the competition by simply talking to our prospective consultants and seeing if they can carry a conversation and if I think they would fit in with our clan. I met some great people and I'm excited to see who ends up being in the Writing Center.
I was suppose to host a student, but unfortunately she wasn't feeling well and left early. There was lots to do on campus: Sean Kingston performed, the play Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 opened, a game night, and a variety of other clubs hosted events. On Saturday there were more information sessions and a hopping organizational fair. Hopefully all the students had a good time. If Coe is the place for you, I hope I see you here next fall!

Hi:) Is there any way for a first year student to become a Writing Center consultant at Coe without having gone to Admitted Student weekend? I am an admitted student but I live eleven hours away and gas money was just too high for me to make the drive up to Iowa.

Jamie B,
It is possible to become a Writing Center consultant without making the trek to Cedar Rapids on Admitted Students Weekend. Option one: you would be able to do a phone or Skpye interview with Dr. Bob (the Writing Center advisor). Option two: if you aren't offered a Fellowship your first year, you could talk to Dr. Bob and interview for a work study position that would start at the beginning of your sophomore year.
Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Awesome! Thanks for commenting back so soon :) How would I go about setting up a phone interview with Dr. Bob?

I would send an email to Dr. Bob (rmarrs@coe.edu) and explain your situation, but I can't guarantee an interview though. I know he was making decisions but I don't know his timeline. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
