Abstract

This report chronicles my two experiential writing credits completed for the School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities between 2021 and 2023. The first experience was as an Academic Support and Engagement Transition Leader (ASE leader) during the summer of 2021, and the second experience is my ongoing tenure as the Western University 2023-24 Student Writer-in-Residence. The former involved facilitating Community Connections days, running events for Smart Start academics, leading programming on Faculty Day, and providing a support system where incoming students could learn more about what their year was going to look like from someone who had just experienced their first year of university. The latter focused on supporting and encouraging the creative writing community on campus and in London by holding office hours, hosting events, and acting as a resource to students. Over the course of both experiences, I gained many skills, including leadership, public speaking, organization, time management, teamwork, problem-solving, writing, editing, performance, interpersonal communication, event planning, and collaboration. The skills and experience gained from both roles have helped prepare me for life as a student, a professional, and an artist.
