Tracy Hamler Carrick, Director

I have been working in writing centers since 1993, collaborating with curious, creative, earnest writers to compose texts that matter. With them, I have witnessed how writers can use words as tools for making or representing change--in themselves, at home, across the globe. As Adrienne Rich boldly challenged: "You must write, and read, as if your life depended upon it"--because it probably does!

Kate Theriault '02, Assistant Director

Megan Burd '05

Megan is majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Creative Writing. She has discovered the meaning of everything (for those of you who are wondering, it is not 42), but due to budget and space constraints, she cannot elaborate on it here.

Elizabeth Johnson '05

Elizabeth is a senior English major from Richmond, Virginia. This is her first year tutoring in the Writers' Center, and boy, is she excited. Elizabeth likes reading, writing, apples and friends. One day, she'll think of something really witty she should have used to conclude her Writers' Center bio.

Mike King '05

I am a senior Enlgish major with a Creative Writing concentration and an Art minor. This summer, I was a guide at the Niagra Falls Barrel Diving School until a freak accident preceded my dismissal. After that, I went on the lam and found myself wrestling gators in the Florida marshlands. Boy, is it good to be back at Camp Colby.

Andy Orr '05

Sometimes he lives no particular way but his own.

Ben Stonebraker '05

Enjoys spending his free time out of the classroom. Hobbies include monitoring stasis, reading poetry, and dressing well. Can often be found catching a quick nap or filling his gallon jug of water. Please don't disturb him in either case.

Emily Allen '06

Emily is an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing. She plays softball fanatically, and she loves to wrap things in pretty paper. Were it not for orange juice and "that blue stuff," Emily would not be who she is today. Yay for tutoring!

Emilie Coulson '06

As the third Emily in her class to become a tutor at the Writers' Center, Emilie decided to spell her name differently and go abroad first semester to make sure no one gets confused. She's back from Chile now, ready for freezing cold Maine and a lot of tutoring!

Carolyn Findeisen '06

Carolyn is a junior International Studies major with a minor in Education. As a telemark skier, she follows the motto "Drop knees, not bombs." Summer camp is also an important part of her life.

Claire Jimenez '06

Claire is a junior English major whose many hobbies include some kind of sporting activity, listening to a certain kind of music, keeping track of various current events which interest her, and not getting her bio in on time.

Emily Judem '06

Hi! I am a junior American Studies major, and this is my second year in the Writers' Center. I look forward to seeing you there!

Greg Patch '06

Greg is a junior English major minoring in Administrative Science. He will be studying abroad in the rain and fog of jolly Olde England during the Spring semester. His favourite things are writing, the colour red, and adding Us to words that don't really need them.

Rachel Walton '06

Taking time off from some good Midwestern living, I came out East to see how it's done here. Oh, and to get an education. When not studying psychology, I can be found talking politics, singing karaoke, reading obscure poetry, and writing, of course!

George Williams '06

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit" (Aristotle).

Ted Wright '06

Ted is junior History major with an Economics minor. If he seems in a bad mood at any point this Fall, it's probably just because the Red Sox have broken his heart again. He's generally quite friendly. Anyway, hurry up and get into the Writers' Center now; Ted will be heading to Spain for the Spring semester.

Liz Wyckoff '06

Liz is an English major with a Creative Writing concentration who likes being tall. She's excited to be spending her Spring semester abroad in Florence, although it is rather unfortunate that she will be surrounded by short Italian men. It is also important to note that one of Liz's life-long goals is to become the fifth member of the Teen Girl Squad. Let's get yogurt!

John DeBruicker '07

Hailing from Haverford, PA, John prides himself on his uncanny resemblence to Wayne Arnold of "The Wonder Years;" his campus golf expertise; and his colossal, eclectic and tasteful MP3 collection. He is very excited about his room in the Treworgy basement, the Philadelphia Eagles acquisition of Terrell Owens, and his first year of working with exciting new people at the Writers' Center.

Mindy Favreau '07

I am a French and English major, with a Creative Writing concentration. I like to eat at Bob's and play around by the pond. This is my first year as a tutor, and I am very excited to be joining the Writers' Center staff!

Lucy Hitz '07

I'm an Art History and English double major with an Italian minor, a penchant for Zebra cakes, Simon and Garfunkel, my hometown NYC, and, yes, writing.

Drew Moreland '07

Drew is a low-key Californian with an attitude that can handle pretty much anything you throw at him (please, nothing sharp). He's not ashamed to say that writing and tutoring are fun. So come in and say hello.

Katie Renwick '07

I'm a sophomore would would love to be quadruple majoring in Classics, Environmental Science, English, and History, if only that were allowed. I love reading random pieces of writing from any subject, and so I'm looking forward to a great year at the Writers' Center!

Liz Stovall '07

Liz is a sophomore majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. She hails from a little town about 14 hours outside Boston called Chicago. She likes trickery and pirates. Yarrrrr.
