Writing Fellows

Kingsborough is honored to host advanced doctoral candidates from the Graduate Center each year as part of its Writing Across the Curriculum program. The primary responsibility of a CUNY Writing Fellow at KCC is to support our goal of raising consciousness about writing and its role in instruction throughout the college. A student who elects to spend an academic year at Kingsborough can expect...

• An intensive teaching practicum experience resulting in the creation of a course portfolio.
• The support of a collegial group of Fellows from many different disciplines in weekly meetings.
• Collaborative work with KCC faculty from many disciplines.
• Work with students from writing intensive and Honors sections on their assignments.
• The option to make a contribution to the program depending on his own interests and abilities.

Additional reasons for working at Kingsborough include,

• A spectacular setting at the tip of Manhattan Beach on Sheepshead Bay.
• A cafeteria that opens up onto a beach and an office near a shark tank.
• Proximity to interesting immigrant neighborhoods with great shopping.
• Membership in an institution designated one of the top four community colleges in the nation.
