Dear UW Students,

Bricolage, your literary magazine on campus, is hosting a writers’
workshop to help refine your creative works with a group of peers. Bring some poetry, a short story, a piece of a novel, a play or any other piece you’d like some feedback on in a roundtable discussion.

What: Bricolage Writers’ Workshop
When: Wednesday, January 7, from 4-6 p.m.

Works can be at any stage-our goal will be to provide you with the feedback you want, whether that’s to come up with a good final chapter or rewrite the opening stanza. We’d like to circulate the pieces before the workshop so we come prepared with thoughtful criticism, so please RSVP with your work by Wednesday, Dec. 17th!

To RSVP, click the following link:

Bricolage is currently accepting works for its 26th issue. The deadline for submission is January 9th. Submission of your workshop piece is not required, but affably encouraged.

Thanks!

Bryant Science Fair Mentor- Volunteer Opportunity- Jan-March 2009

Share your enthusiasm for science by serving as a Science Fair mentor for students at Bryant Elementary School located in NE Seattle near the University of Washington .
Mentors work with a group of 4-5 students, (4th and 5th graders) to design and carry out their scientific investigations. The role of the mentor is to ask questions and guide the group in its student-driven investigation. The mentor brings ideas and perspective to aid students in the development of manageable scientific experiments and interpretation of results. With guidance from the mentor, students prepare posters displaying their results and conclusions which will be exhibited at the Science Fair Poster Exhibition.
This is a fantastic leadership opportunity to lead a team through a project with similar group dynamics of adult research or work teams.
There will be an orientation in early January ( tba) for all Science Fair Mentors led by our Science Fair Coordinator, Lizbeth Seebacher. The Science Fair Coordinator, Bryant 4th/5th grade teachers and parent volunteers provide additional support to our Science Fair Mentors.
