Save the date for a Graduate school visit to the University of Minnesota on Friday, March 27th (Please note the date has changed). You will have the opportunity to meet with the Graduate School as well as faculty in your field of interest. Get all of your questions about Graduate School answered! If you are a health major, we have something for you too! Following the general session about Graduate School, you will have the opportunity to visit Fairview Medical Center where you will be able to talk with professionals in your prospective fields and possibly job shadow. Following the U of M visit, we're tentatively planning to enjoy a dinner at one of Minneapolis' finest restaurants and a play at the Guthrie theatre, A Raisin in the Sun!
"A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959 and for the first time hailed an all-black principal cast, a black playwright and a black director. It was nominated for four Tony Awards. 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the inspiring classic about a working class black family struggling to make it in America."
The tentative schedule is to leave Mankato around 10 am and return around midnight. The deadline for sign up will be Friday, February 27th and there will be a $25 deposit required when you sign up which will be refunded when you arrive on March 27th. You will also be asked to list your area of interest for the Graduate School visit. Contact Marie or Linda with any questions!
It's simple to sign up…just stop by, email, or call and leave us a message with your name and the workshop!

Don't wait…fill out a tutoring request today! A tutor can answer questions you may have even after attending class and reading the book. A tutor is a great study partner and can help you focus on the processes you are learning in class. To get the most out of your tutoring experience, it is important to go to class, take notes, read the book, do your homework, and study on your own. Prepare questions you may have about the material as you study, bring them to your next tutoring session and your tutor can assist you with that information.
Remember, tutors are not professors and do not know everything. They also do not do your homework. That is your job! A tutor is there to answer questions and help you understand and reinforce the material and processes you are learning in class.
Tutoring requests will be accepted through Friday, March 6th, 2009 and on-call writing requests will accepted through Friday, April 10th, 2009!
