Congratulations Academic Center Tutor and Tutee!
We are proud to announce the Students of the Month for March
Tutee:
Roslyn Axtell
Roslyn Axtell is a prime example of resilience! She is always in the Academic Center and has been coming for the past two semesters. While utilizing the center and its resources entirely, she is a constant in the AC, always eager to get to work, and extremely thoughtful! We couldn’t imagine the Academic Center without her.
Tutor:
Bryan Peng
Bryan Peng is an admirable tutor all around. He has worked with a variety of students as a long-term one-on-one tutor. His never ending dedication and persistence does not go unnoticed by others, including the tutees he works with. He often goes out of his way and tries alternative teaching strategies for struggling students, while maintaining a very pleasant and earnest attitude about the work he does. Bryan’s work is outstanding!
Please join us in congratulating these fantastic Mustangs!!!
