Student Leadership

The Skyline Writing Center is a student-run, student-centered program that puts tutors in important decision-making and organizational roles.

Each year, three Writing Center seniors are selected to serve as program leaders to mentor and train tutors, maintain our partnerships, organize the publication of Teen Spirit, and develop exceptional events, like our International Write-In for Change.

Our 2021-2022 student leaders are Peter Cohn (’22), Sydney Cunningham (’22), Caitlyn Donnelly (’22), and Salsabeel Hodge (’23).

Writing Center Houses

The Writing Center’s House system is a tiered mentoring system designed to create a more personalized climate for tutors in the Writing Center so that they can use their voice, find a home, and receive individual feedback and mentoring.  Each of our student leaders mentors a group of 8-10 of their Writing Center peers throughout the year to help Writing Center feel like a team and to ensure that all tutors can be at their very best while collaborating with their classmates.
