[Acmsmajors] Become a FIG Leader!

[Brooke Miller]

>>
>> We are looking for students from all departments here at UW, especially
>> students who have displayed a strong commitment to their academic
>> performance. We are looking for students who have strong time-management
>> skills (i.e., not over-committed) and a genuine interest in working with
>> freshman as they face the challenges and opportunities presented to them as
>> new students.  Having been in a FIG yourself is not required.
>>
>> As a FIG Leader, you will be able to enrich your connection to the
>> University by fostering positive experiences for new UW freshmen. Through
>> facilitating a section of GEN ST 199 ("University Community") with 15-25
>> freshmen, you'll learn and utilize transferable skills such as how to lead
>> discussions, group planning and organization, portfolio development, and
>> public speaking skills.
>>
>> Training will take place during spring quarter 2006.  If you are
>> participating in a Study Abroad program during spring quarter, we encourage
>> you to still apply as special arrangements for summer training can be made.
>>
>> As a FIG Leader, you are eligible to receive up to 6 credits for your
>> commitment to the program, which includes both the training for and teaching
>> of a General Studies 199 class.
>>
>> Applications are available at the Undergraduate Gateway Center in 171 Mary
