Physics Students Create Volunteer Tutoring Program for Fellow Undergrads

/ 28 November 2012 /

Hannalore Gerling-Dunsmore, Delilah Gates, Gary Chen, Sonali ShuklaPhysics majors Hannalore Gerling-Dunsmore, Delilah Gates, and Gary Chen, with the support of physics advisor Sonali Shukla, started a new, free tutoring program for fellow physics students on campus in fall 2012. The program aims to improve the success of physics students by pairing upperclassmen with underclassmen in the physics program. The student-led initiative is designed to build community and support for youg physicists, especially those from underrepresented groups. The program provides a great way for volunteers to give back and sharpen their own skills; walking a peer through a problem keeps physics fundamentals fresh for tutors as well.

The tutoring center is open M-F from 4-6 p.m. in 1304 Physics. 

For more information or to volunteer as a tutor, contact Hannalore Gerling-Dunsmore.
