This week welcomed tutoring starts at most of our sites, with the final four launching next week. Tutors are digging in, making connections and supporting student learning. Already, we’ve logged over 80 hours of tutoring. Well done! If you tutored but didn’t log yours on the Hub or BCSP portal— go do that now, please :) 

Here are some upcoming opportunities:

  1. MONDAY! Tutor development opportunity, Situational Awareness training. Join Quiana Young from DPES to build habits of awareness by learning how to stay alert, minimize risks, and trust your instincts. Through practical tips, you will explore how to avoid risky situations and make safer day-to-day decisions on and off campus. This will be in-person at the Swearer Center on Monday, October 19th from 10:30am-11:30am. Please check out the event and RSVP on the BTC Tutor gcal. 
  2. WEDNESDAY! Learning Community with Ben Herdeg. Learning Community sessions are peer-led. During this session, Ben will focus conversation on working with Multilingual Learners.
