Tutoring Tip of the Week #9

Hello! Well, here we are, (penguin) feet first in Week #9! It is amazing how quickly a quarter slips by. Just two weeks of classes left and then Finals! Tutoring will have regular operation this week but remember – next week (June 8th – 12th) is the 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 with campus resources 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 Guided Study Session, Stress Management, or Test Anxiety to really get yourself prepared! We hope to see you there!

Have an upcoming Clark event, student resource, club activity, or other important update/information to share with the Clark College Community?
