Yay! Another new semester is right around the corner! Oh, the excitement! The Fall 2008 semester officially begins on Sept. 4 -- that's next Thursday. So if you're interested in tutoring this semester, please drop in as soon as possible to give us your schedule.
A few special notes for you:
- This semester we will be returning to our regularly scheduled Common Time. I'll choose a time that's good for the majority of us and we'll work your schedules around it. We'll meet regularly throughout the semester to talk about tutoring and share our stories, and when we're not meeting you can take walk-ins during that time. Also, if you're not returning to the ARC from last semester, please let me know.
- If you are interested in a GA for this semester, please drop me a line or visit my office to verify that you're still interested. I have a list of applicants, but I need to know who is still interested. We have very few to go around. And remember that a 3-credit GA equals 5 hours of tutoring per week.
- I am always in search of new, excited, friendly and patient tutors to join our family, so if you have any recommendations, please feel free to let me know. This year I will be focusing on increasing the number of undergraduate tutors we have on our team so we can offer a wider range of subjects, personalities and experiences to our students. Some of you have worked with some really promising students who may very well turn out to be strong tutors themselves. It'll be like having little siblings in our ARC family!
- As usual, all international students will need to submit a new F-1 letter from Mr. Chin. Please take care of this as soon as possible. It will take at least 4 days to process. We can't pay you without it.
See you all soon!
