Laura Cipko, '08 MA

"I am a tenured professor of English at Delaware County Community College. In this position, I teach writing and literature courses, serve on committees, and provide other service to the college such as presentations, workshops, and book talks."

"I began working in a community college writing center while writing my Master's thesis, then applied for and received several adjunct teaching positions. I gained teaching experience at regional colleges for several years before applying and interviewing for full-time, tenure-track positions locally and all over the country. An adjunct position at DCCC led to a temporary full-time position, both of which helped me earn the Assistant Professor of English position I currently hold."

"The Writing Studies program at SJU provided me with a well-rounded study of rhetoric, creative nonfiction, and creative writing. Additionally, I served on the editorial board for the Writing Studies program's literary magazine, Avenue."
