Interns
Michael Haen – Education & Cirriculae Intern
As a senior at Marquette University majoring in Writing-Intensive English and Criminology, my long-term goals include a career in higher education, education reform, or social work. After graduation, I will be either teaching secondary English in Milwaukee through Teach for America, or will be starting my first year as a student enrolled in a Composition and Rhetoric Master’s Program. These plans stem primarily from my experiences as a writing tutor and summer writing instructor at Marquette. As a MWW intern, I hope to gain increased practice in my lesson-planning strategies and curriculum development for Creative Writing instruction.
