what happens in vegas...

Hi everyone, we're back from the IWCA/NCPTW conference; it was great. It was my first time in Vegas, and it was all that I expected. Actually, since the visit coincided with Halloween, the bright lights seemed even more sinister. I was hoping to get out of town to see the desert, but the conference was non-stop. Great sessions, great connections. It's so good to see that we're part of a much larger community of tutoring centers across the country (indeed, the world...it's an international conference).

The thing I appreciated most of all was the large number of tutors who attended. It was so nice to get tutors' perspectives on the important work that we do.

Special kudos go out to our very own Michelle "Solly" Solomon for her conference poster presentation entitled “Sociology as Training: The Sociology Being Used In Tutoring Reflection & Analysis.” Michelle did an exceptional job and represented our University beautifully. Yay, Solly! We all need some celebratory mint chocolate brownies, don't you think?

Hopefully, we can get her to share her experience and ideas with us all very soon.

See you all tomorrow at Common Time!
