Attention, Juniors & Seniors! Be a Tutor-Mentor: EDUC 401 F & G

UW’s Academic Support Programs is offering a service-learning seminar titled “EDUC 401: Higher Education Tutoring and Mentorship” in Winter Quarter 2017. This weekly seminar introduces juniors and seniors to tutoring, mentoring, and teaching methodologies. Students apply what they learn in class through tutoring and mentoring new transfer, freshman, and sophomore students who are transitioning socially, culturally, and academically to the UW. This is a great opportunity for seasoned students to give back to the UW by sharing their knowledge and experience. We have a special need for students with knowledge of CSE.

• Seminar meets on Mondays from 3:30-4:50 PM or from 6:00-7:20 PM
• Tutoring takes place on campus
• Receive 2 credits for working with one student, or 3 credits for working with two students
• A letter of recommendation will be available upon request after completion of the seminar

Reminder: The Resume Review Workshop will be held tomorrow, Wednesday January 11th, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm in the CSE Atrium

This workshop is designed to allow you to gather tips from the experts to turn your resume drafts into documents that will help land your dream job or internship.

All you need to attend is a few printed copies of your resume–anything from a rough draft to almost-finished product is fine.  Show up anytime between 3:00 and 5:00 pm (plan on 20 minutes per review) to share your resume with 1 or more recruiters or technical interview experts from several of our affiliate companies, both large and small.  These experts will provide resume advice to get your resume in great shape for the upcoming recruiting fair on January 25th and 26th.
