Professor Carrick has taught expository writing in college and community settings for fifteen years. Some days she looks for truth in the words of feminist poet and activist Adrienne Rich: “You must read and write as if your life depended upon it.” Other days she finds it in the radiant rhythms of humble poet Wilbur the pig: “Isn’t it great, that I articulate? Isn’t it grand, that you can understand?”

After three years as a tutor, Laura will be returning this year as the Assistant Director. She looks forward to continuing to work with the students and tutors who infuse the tiny office under the library with energy and passion.

Jenny Dean is a Classics and Anthropology double major from Wellesley MA. She likes dogs, Star Trek (not in a manic way, unless you get her going) and nature.  She is also fond of ice cream and thinks that Colby should probably own a number of grazing animals--at least a goat--given the proliferation of grass on campus. She acknowledges that it may never happen.

Julia, class of 2010, hails from Atlanta, but that doesn't stop her from loving the

snow and going skiing and sledding with her friends. An English major, Julia

A message unfurled

Writing is best when it's clee-ah.

outside of Boston. She plays on CWS and is an HR of Dana. She loves apple

04901 and the Writers' Center!
