All undergraduates employed or appointed to provide academic assistance to peers within the last year are eligible—including PLAs, senior tutors, senior assistants, writing tutors, MASH tutors, peer academic coaches, and similar positions. WPI community members who wish to recognize undergraduate students in these teaching positions are asked to nominate them for the PLA award rather than the Student Employee of the Year awards.
An effective nomination typically consists of letters from faculty or supervisors and from students. Letters should be sent, either individually or as a package, to Deb Graves (djgraves@wpi.edu), Provost’s Office, Boynton Hall, by Friday, Jan. 22. Paper or electronic documents may be submitted.
