International Students Art Show

There is a plan underfoot to organize an International Students Art Show in the last week of October. The Show will be sponsored by ACADSA, SRC and International Students Group.
At this time, the organizers are looking for submissions and volunteers to help making this Show a roaring success!
For more information, comments and questions, please contact: paul.szymanowski@acad.ca

Academic Assistance at Learning Assistance Resources – Annex A

What’s available?

Drop-in assistance – every Wednesday 12:00 – 2:00 pm + Thursday 4:00 – 6:00pm

Bring your questions about course content, research, writing/editing essays, exam/critique prep and what ever else you find puzzling in your classes.

How about study groups?

Thanks for asking – we have those too! Organized on as-needed basis and run by students and for students

Incidentally, I am looking for volunteers to help themselves and  other students in “running the show” and being part of this learning experience. You may gain a great set of solid skills by getting involved in a study group. Your grades will thank you! Your parents will thank you! You will feel all warm and fuzzy by helping other students in getting their grades up, too – guaranteed! The students will thank you!

From Study Group Leader to Volunteer Coordinator, Study Groups – possibilities are many! Besides, it looks really cool on your resume/CV as part of your professional experience.

Please get in touch with me if you wanted more information: paul.szymanowski@acad.ca

Who can access Learning Assistance Resources?

Services provided at LAR are available to ALL ACAD STUDENTS! From weekly Workshops, to Study Groups and Drop-in sessions – all our services are free of charge!

Some assistance will be best suited to 1st year or 2nd Year students. A number of International Students will find it particularly useful to come to Drop-in sessions or Study Groups.

Please ask me if you have any questions.
