Wildcat Writers

Service Learning/Outreach

GEAR UP has partnered up with the service learning outreach program Wildcat Writers in order to consolidate resources, making it easier for UA and local Tucson high school teachers already familiar with either program.

Some pics from last year's Wildcat Writers campus event

Last night I attended the Arizona Assurance Scholars Program dinner and met with one of the incoming freshmen who I'll be mentoring. It already seems like a really great program. All of the students I met seem really motivated, even if they're experiencing all of the first week of college mishaps like losing computer cords and printing out tons of pdfs...

This summer I worked with one of the Assurance peer mentors, so I already know that this program will be continue to be successful.

Photos from Wildcat Writers Event

Wildcat Writers Meet and Greet

Some of my students--excited to be on campus Saturday at 9am
