Grad students - what's your work situation?

[preciousjeni]

1) Coordinator for Writing and Research <20 hours
2) Adjunct Professor = teaching a 3 hour course and a 1 hour writing lab

My work situation has developed over the past year. This fall, I will be working again as the Coordinator for Writing and Research in the Academic Success Center of Nyack College. CWR is a position that was created for me (because as an undergrad I had concentrations in grammar studies and southeastern literature) to begin a new branch of the ASC programming.

I work one on one with students and train them in proper writing. Since it's a new position, a lot of things are up in the air. Soon, I'll start bringing people in to work under me and then I'll act more as a manager than anything else.

This fall is when I sign my FIRST contract to be an adjunct!! I was asked to teach two classes by the Dean of Students (an AKA) based on my knowledge and performance over this past work season. Woohoo!

My goal is to be a college professor, so this is a great start.
