Subject Area Tutoring Programs Study Smarter!

Hello, All!

1. The next pay period ends this Sunday.  Be sure to enter your hours into PeopleSoft and your session records into TutorTrac by Sunday at midnight.

2. If you are interested in attending the resume event we are sponsoring with Career Services for Learning Co-op employees, please complete the quick online survey by following the embedded link.  The event will be held Tuesday, March 20 from 5:30-7:00 in L/L CM 315.  Bring a copy of your resume and get expert feedback from the pros, or come with a blank sheet of paper and get to work drafting your resume.

3. To thank you for all of your hard work this year, we are planning a Student Appreciation Day for all student employees in Academic Support Programs.  The event will be May 3 from 2:00-4:00 pm in the Fireplace Lounge.  We would like to hear from you what kind of event this should be.  Complete the online survey to give us feedback about what kind of FREE food and activities you would like to have.

4. SI Leaders, if you would like to return to the position for Fall 2012, you must let me know no later than March 31.  I will begin recruiting for new SI Leaders on April 1.

Thanks,

Before you leave for break, there are some things you should know:

Updates and Announcements:
It’s nearly time for Spring Break!  Be safe, have fun, and relax.  We’ll see you back here March 12.  For those of you have Drop-In tutoring or SI Sessions on Sunday, these sessions will be canceled on Sunday, March 4 AND Sunday, March 11.  Please communicate this with your students.

The payroll submission deadline for the next pay period is this Sunday, March 4.  Be sure to get your hours in PeopleSoft and your sessions logged in TutorTrac.  There will be a paycheck waiting for you when you get back.

SI Leaders, I will begin recruiting for Fall 2012 as of April 1.  Please let me know if you plan to return to your position no later than March 31.  If I do not hear form you before that date, I may not be able to guarantee your position, though I want each and every one of you to return!

Upcoming Events with the Learning Co-op:
Wednesday, March 14 from 4:00-6:00 pm join us as we bake cookies together in L/L (exact room TBA).  It will be a nice time to relax as you get back into the swing of things after spring break.  If you plan on stopping in, just let us know by following the link here.  We want to make sure we have enough cookies and milk for everybody!

Tuesday, March 20 from 5:30-7:00 pm we will be partnering with Career Services to present a resume writing workshop for Learning Co-op staff exclusively.  More details to follow, but mark your calendars now!

Tutor Requests:
I have received requests for a tutor in the courses listed below.  If you have taken one of these courses and would like to tutor a student taking it this semester, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can match them with a tutor.  Thank you!

Hi, Folks–

Just wanted to send out a reminder that the payroll deadline for this pay period is midnight tonight. Please make sure to have all of your session records entered in TutorTrac and your hours logged in PeopleSoft tonight.

There are a number of courses for which we have received requests this semester and have not yet been able to match the student with a tutor.  If you have taken any of these classes and would like to tutor for the course, please let me know ASAP!

Thanks!  I hope you are all staying healthy.

Best,
Rachel

Hello, Tutors!

A few updates for you all.

1.  You can find more information about the annual Student Research Conference  here.  I strongly suggest you all consider applying to take part in this event and that you all attend it this spring.  Lots of very, very cool things going on here!

2. There is a slight change in our regular payroll procedures due to the holiday on Monday 2/20.  You must complete your session records and enter your hours into PeopleSoft no later than Thursday, February 16 at midnight in order to have your time approved for this pay period.  Don’t forget!

3.  Finally, you gave us feedback that you would like there to me more opportunities to get involved with the Learning Co-op community beyond mandatory meetings at the start of the semester.  As a result, we are planning a cookie baking event for the full Learning Co-op staff.  Please fill out this brief survey to determine the best time to hold the event.

Best,
Rachel
