The Freshman Interest Group (FIG) and Transfer
Interest Group (TrIG) program is looking for outstanding UW
undergraduates to serve as FIG/TrIG Leaders for autumn 2013.
The program
is looking for students from all departments who are UW-Seattle
undergraduates with strong organizational skills (i.e., not
over-committed), and a genuine interest in working with freshmen
as they face the challenges and opportunities presented to them as new
students. Having been in a FIG/TrIG as a freshman is not required.
As a
FIG/TrIG Leader, students will develop a deeper connection to the
University while developing helpful skills in public speaking,
discussion facilitation, lesson plan development, and principles
of instructional leadership. All of these skills will be utilized
while instructing a class of 20-25 freshmen enrolled in General Studies
199.
Training will take place during spring quarter
2013. Special arrangements for summer training can be made for students
studying abroad during spring quarter. FIG/TrIG Leaders are eligible
to receive up to 6 credits for their commitments
to the program, which includes both training for and teaching the
General Studies 199 course in autumn quarter.
Applications are available at First Year Programs, 120 Mary Gates Hall, or online at
www.fyp.washington.edu/figs.
The application deadline is Monday, February 4th by 5:00pm.
