Rosenberg Scholar

The Julia Rosenberg Writing Scholar

The founding director, Julia Rosenberg, was a tireless advocate for Wabash students. Her dedication to supporting all students shaped 30 years of Wabash Students. The title of Rosenberg Writing Scholar identifies the Writing Consultants who have most emulated her dedication to Wabash students. Annually awarded to the top two Writing Consultants in the Wabash Writing Center, it recognizes their contributions to the Wabash Writing Center, to Wabash Students, and to the wider writing center community.

All current Wabash Writing Consultants are considered; there are no minimum requirements for time in the Writing Center, number of sessions conducted, class standing, or GPA.

The Writing Center Director will evaluate all current Wabash Writing Consultants against seven (7) criteria:

1. Unusual Writing Center work (working with limited staff, working over breaks, or working during finals);
2. Presenting original work at conferences;
3. Participating in Writing Center trips to other institutions;
4. Assisting in training new Writing Consultants;
5. Conducting class visits;
6. Presenting Writing Center information to committees or other faculty events;
7. Conducting writing workshops.

The criteria are not weighted, nor are they all required. Based on a holistic evaluation of each Writing Consultant, the Writing Center Director selects the two current Writing Consultants that best emulates Ms. Rosenberg's dedication.
