Spring semester begins!

The new semester brings fresh perspective and plenty of new opportunities. How did last semester turn out? Awesome? Great! You can carry that momentum into this semester. Not so hot? Well, then you've got a new semester to make a fresh start. Think about the things that worked for you and the things that did not. Come out of the break with fresh eyes and seek help if you need it. There's plenty around.

On that note, with the new semester, we'll be looking to hold on to the drop-in tutoring we offered last semester. Check back for days, times, and courses we'll be supporting. Please contact us if you'd like to help, too.

Furthermore, stay tuned for website updates and news of upcoming events. If you have ideas about things or activities you'd like to see us look in to, let us know. We're pretty receptive.

Who are this year's officers? Psst... There are a lot of them.
