Director of the Wilf Campus (formerly Yeshiva College) Writing Center since 1997, Professor Lauren Fitzgerald has prepared hundreds of student tutors and dozens of faculty consultants to work with thousands of writers from the YU community—students, faculty, staff, and alumni. In the YC English department, she teaches courses on academic writing, rhetoric, Global Englishes, Romantic-period British literature, the ghost story in British and American literature, and the history of authorship.
Professor Fitzgerald received the 2010 Council of Editors of Learned Journals’ Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement, a 2012 Dr. Kenneth Chelst Book Grant at Yeshiva College, a 2017-18 Chelst, Schreiber, and Zwas YC Book Fund Award, and the 2020 Ron Maxwell Award for Distinguished Leadership in Promoting Collaborative Learning Practices of Peer Tutors in Writing.
Along with journal articles and book chapters, Professor Fitzgerald has published The Oxford Guide for Writing Tutors: Practice and Research (2015), and with her coauthor, Professor Melissa Ianetta of the Georgia Institute of Technology, edited The Writing Center Journal (2008-13).
