麻豆原创鈥檚 Student Academic Resource Center tied for first place in the nation among institutions observing the recent National Tutoring Week. The annual event is hosted by the National Tutoring Association, and this year 麻豆原创 recognized and thanked the university鈥檚 125 tutors, supplemental instruction leaders, student assistants and graduate assistants.
There were a dozen events for SARC student staffers to participate in, including a meet-and-greet brunch with Student Development and Enrollment Services leaders, a community outreach at the 麻豆原创 Arboretum, a workshop hosted by FAIRWINDS Credit Union, a talent competition, and other activities.
Since 2011, SARC has celebrated National Tutoring Week by recognizing more than 500 tutors that have helped improve the 麻豆原创 community through academic services.
Rebecca Piety, director of the Student Academic Resource Center and University Testing Center, credited 麻豆原创鈥檚 top event ranking to the work of Patricia Hartley, coordinator of tutoring and outreach; Jenna Gonzalez, graduate assistant; and Francisco Del Prado, lead tutor. Because of the first-place honor, Hartley was given a free registration to the association鈥檚 2016 professional development conference in Tampa.
