Editing Assistant
A small number of advanced editing students are hired each semester (usually in a quarter-time position) to help the director provide the editorial and publishing services of the HPC. They edit, proofread, source check, lay out pages in Quark XPress, and perform other duties required to produce publications and keep the Center running smoothly. These student assistants are selected on the basis of their success in relevant courses and their scores on editing exercises.
The position is intended to be not just a job but also an educational experience, so like the students enrolled in ELang 430R they receive detailed feedback on their work and individual mentoring. Academic credit may also be available.
