Our survey is modeled off of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Peer Writing Tutor Alumni Rearch Project. We've used some of their questions and added some of our own. Here is an overview

• Undergraduate Writing Center alumni from any year may volunteer to participate.
• The survey includes questions about your training and experiences as a peer writing tutor and how the skills and abilities you developed have affected your life after UVM, focusing on work, education, civic life, and relationships.
• Survey responses will help us to assess the short- and long-term value of writing center experience and inform current tutor training and writing center practice.
• Results of this survey will also allow us to contribute to ongoing national scholarship about Peer Writing Tutor Alumni.
• The estimated time to complete the survey is 20-30 minutes; you can skip questions you don't wish to answer.
• You will also be asked whether you are willing to be contacted within a year for a focus group or interview to follow up on themes that emerge from the survey.
•  When we share findings with the UVM community or beyond, we will not include your identifying information.
• There is no cost nor compensation for participating in this survey.
• The survey will close at midnight on September 30th.

When you opt into receiving the survey, there is no obligation to complete the survey. Rather, you will receive a link to the survey, review the details in the coversheet of the survey, and decide whether or not to participate.  If you have any questions though, feel free to reach out to us!

The Writing Center added "Undergraduate" to its name when its sister program, the Graduate Writing Center, was formed in 2016. Together, they are called the "UVM Writing Centers." English Professor Nancy Welch began coordinating the Graduate Writing Center in 2016 and continued until her 2022 retirement.  Holly Painter, Lecturer in English, is now acting as Interim Coordinator of the Graduate Writing Center.
