LAHers, I am looking for an energetic, dependable individual with a safe/dependable car a to pick up my daughter, Julia, from school  (M-F) in the fall and hopefully in the spring  too.  Some days may require staying with her an hour or so to help her stay on task for home-work.  Making math fun would be a bonus.
There is another mother who would like her son to be picked up as well (they live two houses down). It would only require dropping him off.

We are in Central Austin and Julia and Roan will attend Lamar Middle School off of Burnet Road and 2222. The school is 2 miles from the house, so it’s just a bit too far for them to walk home everyday. Pick up at 3:30. Pay would be $13.00 an hour.  Position could be shared by two individuals if class schedule only allows for M W F or T TH pick up. Please email me if you are interested. samorous@austin.utexas.edu

Have you ever thought you’d be good at helping other students with writing projects? If the answer is “yes”, apply to become a Course Specialist Consultant at the University Writing Center.

Course Specialist Consultants will be trained by the University Writing Center and assigned to a particular undergraduate class in their discipline. They will attend the class with enrolled students, develop an insider’s understanding of the course and the professor’s expectations, and conduct 45-minute consultations about writing in the University Writing Center. Students from the assigned class will have priority registration for consultations with their class’s consultant until the end of the term.

Course Specialist Consultants will earn $12/hour. They will be paid for 10 hours per week plus 35 hours of mandatory training (scheduled for 8/17/15-8/21/15).

1) a letter of interest that explains why you wish to work as a Course Specialist Consultant

2) a writing sample (3-5 pages) that you wrote for an academic course (preferably a course in your major area or a closely related discipline)

3) a brief reference (a few sentences will do) from a professor who is familiar with your writing ability

Please send all application materials to Alice Batt at uwc@utexas.edu by July 10.
