Friends, Romans, Tutors & Staff...lend me your eyes

Hi my lovely ARC-ers,
Happy new year and new semester! Well, the semester is off and running. You may have noticed we waited a little longer to register your students. We've discovered that we get fewer schedule changes that way. Hopefully this will make your first sessions run a bit more smoothly. Special thanks to Seymour & Michelle and the rest of our front desk staff for the huge task of organizing, registering and calling all of those students - and we have a lot of them this semester.

A few things for you:

• Everyone: We will have our first Common Time meeting next Wednesday, February 4th, from 3-4pm. Please join us. You'll notice that we've blocked off this time on your schedules. As usual, if we are not meeting, you can use that time to take walk-in students. We'll try to meet at least twice a month.
• Everyone: If you haven't given us your schedule yet, please do this immediately. I'm going to be addressing how many new tutors to add to our family. I don't want you to lose hours because we give them to someone else. For those of you who are still out of town/country, please give us your schedules as soon as you return.
• Tutors: I'll be looking for new undergraduate tutors. Please recommend any promising undergrads who you think would be a great addition to our family. You know best what the demands of the position are.
• International Students: Please submit your F-1 letters immediately. We cannot schedule you without them.
• Grad students who are still interested in GA-ships: please send me an email confirmation. Please notify me soon if you receive GA's in any other departments. Remember, the University doesn't allow you to be on more than 2 contracts or budgets. Unfortunately, we only have a few to go around.
• Alumni: We love you, but we need to replace you. I know, there's no replacing you, really, but if you can give me recommendations, I always appreciate those. When offering up recommendations, please consider how well these applicants will fit in to our ARC family.

Happy tutoring! And have a great semester!
