The Freshman Interest Group (FIG) program is looking for outstanding UW
undergraduates to serve as FIG Leaders for autumn 2008.

The program is looking for students from all departments who are
UW-Seattle undergraduates with strong organizational skills (i.e., not
over-committed), and a genuine interest in working with freshmen as they
face the challenges and opportunities presented to them as new students.
Having been in a FIG as a freshman is not required.

As a FIG Leader, students will develop a deeper connection to the
University while developing transferable skills in public speaking,
discussion facilitation, lesson plan development, and principles of
instructional leadership.  All of these skills will be utilized while
instructing a class of 15-25 freshmen enrolled in General Studies 199.

Training will take place during spring quarter 2008.  Special arrangements
for summer training can be made for students studying abroad during spring
quarter. FIG Leaders are eligible to receive up to 6 credits for their
commitments to the program, which includes both training for and teaching
the General Studies 199 course in autumn quarter.

Applications are available at the Undergraduate Gateway Center (171 Mary
Gates Hall, as well as online at:

The application deadline is Friday, February 8th by 5:00pm to 171 Mary
Gates Hall.
