Who We Are

A division of the SFU Library, the Student Learning Commons (SLC) is an academic writing and learning centre with the mandate to assist and support students in their academic pursuits.

The Student Learning Commons (SLC) offers workshops, consultations, and resources in academic writing, learning and study strategies, and English as an Additional Language (EAL).

SLC Coordinators, Graduate Facilitators, and Peer Educators work together to deliver services in an environment of collaboration, discussion, and peer learning.

About the Role

Working in collaboration with other Student Learning Commons Coordinators, the Writing Services Coordinator coordinates the development and delivery of writing programs and services to undergraduate and graduate students in the Student Learning Commons (SLC).

The incumbent provides direct service through workshops, seminars, online programs, and individual advising on academic and scholarly writing and communication skills.

The incumbent also provides appropriate training and coordination of other writing support staff and volunteers, such as SLC graduate facilitators and peer educators.

As well, the Coordinator liaises with faculty, librarians, the Research Commons, Student Services staff, and other relevant departments and colleagues to support SFU's writing initiatives.

The Writing Services Coordinator acquires and maintains, through research and the study of the literature, an accurate and current knowledge of a broad range of issues and best practices related to university-level writing and communication.
