Villanova’s Center for Speaking and Presentation (CSP) Position (Next Academic Year)
A new position for grad students has recently been announced, a position with Villanova’s Center for Speaking and Presentation (CSP), which will be entering its third year in the Fall of 2019. The Center will be hiring at least one graduate student tutor for a two-year appointment.
Tutors receive tuition remission of 6 credits per semester (so it won’t quite cover the usual full-time graduate schedule of 9 credits each semester), plus an hourly rate of $9.60. Tutors commit to 12-14 hours per week, most of which are spent tutoring; some are spent providing workshops and class visits. The director, Juliana Studer, says that applicants who have worked as a peer tutor before or who have taken public speaking courses would have a competitive edge in the applicant pool. She also says that since this is a fairly new service, tutors in the CSP have the unique opportunity to help nurture and shape a growing service, which may be of interest for any applicants seeking a future career in higher education or student support positions; CSP tutors have done everything from developing workshops and resources to presenting at national conferences.
To apply, send a cover letter (which should address any experience or training in public speaking and any work as a peer tutor), a résumé, and a transcript (which can be informal), to Juliana Studer, MFA, Assistant Director of Tutoring Services, at juliana.studer@villanova.edu.
Decisions will be made on a rolling basis.
