Tutoring Tip of the Week #10
Tutoring Services is sending everyone warm thoughts for an enjoyable break this week as you navigate a very short week of classes! As a reminder, Tutoring Services is only open when classes are running and therefore, we will be here to serve you Monday and Tuesday of this week and be closed Wednesday through Friday.
We will return on Monday, December 1st and hope that you will join us in the Cannell Library for our quarterly Snack & Study!
The Snack & Study is held the week prior to finals every quarter. During this week ALL campus tutoring locations are closed, and all tutoring personnel relocate to the main floor of the library along with Student Success Coaches and Counseling and Health Services to help YOU get prepped for your finals and to wrap up those final projects. ASCC provides snacks to keep you fueled, and you can snag a 30-minute micro-workshop on Stress Management or Test Anxiety to really get yourself prepared! We hope to see you there!
