NSU Writing and Communication Center Graduate Assistant Coordinator wins Southeastern Writing Center Association Graduate Tutor of the Year Award

Monique Cole, HCAS Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM) master’s student and graduate assistant coordinator at the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC), earned the 2021 Graduate Tutor of the Year Award from the Southeastern Writing Center Association (SWCA). Cole was honored at the 2021 SWCA virtual conference, February 11-13th, 2021.

Each year, SWCA awards recognize excellence at both the tutor and administrator levels. The SWCA undergraduate and graduate tutor Awards recognize leadership, commitment, and overall excellence of individuals working in writing centers.

Cole has worked at the WCC since 2017, moving from undergraduate consultant to undergraduate student coordinator, and is now a graduate assistant coordinator. Since fall 2019 she has served as President of the NSU Chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America and was one of two social media interns for SWCA from 2020-2021.

According to Cole, “I am forever grateful for the many opportunities that have come from working at the WCC. Being recognized as Graduate Tutor of the Year by the Southeastern Writing Center Association is a great honor. A big thank you to Dr. Kevin Dvorak and the rest of the WCC team for creating a welcoming environment that provides the support needed to achieve student success.”
