As the NCPTW approaches, the
Writing Center interns and directors are moving at full speed to create and
perfect their conference presentations before November. As the conference nears, the bloggers have gotten in contact
with a former Writing Center tutor, Talie
Tebby, for some fresh ideas on how to
improve our blog, reach out to more people, and help us with our presentation.
After graduating from Syracuse
University with a B.S. in magazine and a minor in religion in 2010, Talie
landed a job on the editorial web team for Oprah’s OWN and was a part of the
team that launched The Oprah Blog. From her experiences there, Talie will be a
huge help in re-vamping our blog.
Currently, Talie is a student at
Teachers College, Columbia University getting her MA in English Education. Even
after high school she is still involved in a writing center community. She has
tutored in writing centers at Stuyvesant High School and is currently
volunteering at a new private school called Avenues: The World School.
No matter what writing center she
ends up at next, she’ll always remember the popular Eat and Speaks during her
high school years at Berkeley. When she was in high school, one of her
favorites was a tea party themed Eat and Speak After Dark. (A new idea for our
Eat and Speak directors?)
It’s so great the Talie can help us
out and we’re looking forward to some big changes on the blog this year.
