This position will tutor all levels of composition courses offered by the University, serve as the lead service provider at the Tutoring Center front desk, and assist students and faculty with all services provided by the Tutoring Center.

Please be advised that any offer of employment is contingent upon your eligibility to work in the United States. The university is aware of recent federal changes that may significantly increase the cost of filing H-1B visa petitions.

As a public institution, the university’s ability to cover such costs is subject to budgetary constraints and state funding policies. Therefore, while we remain committed to supporting international faculty hires, we cannot guarantee payment of any newly imposed or increased visa‑related fees.

If you have any questions regarding the visa policy, please contact Monica Arrendale at (706) 867‑4470.
