re: Pencils

[Karen Vaught-Alexander <karenva@up.edu>]

I also use bookmarks. We distribute those at Orientation, Student
Activities fairs, and "class introductions" requested by professors.

I have commonly asked questions and answers on the back: i.e, I am a
really good writer. Why would any professor ask me to take a draft to the
WC? OR I have a very busy schedule this semester. Could I just drop a
draft off and pick it up later this afternoon?

The front has key info on our WAC-based WC including the nomination and
selection of the Writing Assistants by their majors, training, and
philosophy of the center.

Our location, phone number, and group e-mail address is also included.

We have had to re-print several times. I also used these at New Faculty
Orientation--double whammy.
