McDaniel Students Help Boys and Girls Club with Writing LISA VASAPOLLO Features Editor

Over the past five weeks, mem- bers of the Boys and Girls Club of Westminster have been coming to McDaniel College to work with student consultants on essays they will be given recognition for. The idea for this partnership between the McDaniel Writing Center and Boys and Girls Club of Westminster (BGC\XI) started last year when Lisa Breslin was the Writing Center director. She had done a program with the stu- dents that involved them entering a scholarship contest by writing essays. Owen HOrton, the current act- ing director of the Writing Center, was approached by Beth Tevis, one of the Boys and Girls Club's Honorary Board members, and they talked about what they could do for the students since there was no scholarship concesr that they could point them to this year. The result was a six-week program that would allow the BGCW members to work with current McDaniel students on essays. ''1 really wanted a program that would get the students to think about academic achievement I~ m~~ ac:ade'nic:: achievement.
