Opportunities for Graduate Students

 

   

Teaching Opportunities

Teaching opportunities for graduate students in the Department of Literature and Languages include tutoring in the Writing Center, working with Writing Groups in our Basic Writing Program, and/or teaching English 101/102 in our first-year composition program.

Scholarship Opportunities

Graduate students in our program are very active scholars, presenting original ideas at conferences throughout the nation. I have compiled CFPs for several, upcoming conferences that may be of interest. If you know of others not yet posted, please let me know (Shannon_Carter@tamuc.edu)
