Peer Tutoring Program/Peer Tutors

by

The Deans’ Office Peer Tutoring Program is available to any student experiencing difficulty with content and material in his/her course(s).  This program is not a substitute for TA sessions, Math Workshop, Writing Workshop, or visiting your professors’ office hours.  Nor is it a source of language/conversation partnership.  If you are having difficulty understanding course content as the semester progresses, please discuss with your professor(s) and your class dean to determine if the tutoring program is a viable option.  Also, be sure to reach out to Peer Advisors for study skills tips and other strategies for a successful academic career. 

To enroll as a tutor or to request a tutor, please review the Tutor Guidelines and complete the Tutor Request Form from this link:

Apply to be a Peer Health Advocate!

by

WesWELL is dedicated to promoting and delivering health promotion awareness events and activities. In order to most effectively reach the Wesleyan student body, we have Peer Health Advocates, a community of Wesleyan students interested in proactively addressing health issues on campus.

The PHAs are the soul of WesWELL’s peer-led health education efforts and integral to the development and implementation of those efforts. Involvement in the group is intended to be a resource for your own education, and more importantly, for the education of the student body. We welcome students with interest in all health topics who wish to have a positive impact on the health and well-being of the Wesleyan student body.

You can find out more about the PHA program at http://www.wesleyan.edu/weswell/peerhealthadvocates/pha_volunteering.html

Audition Wednesday for open Theater Acting Course

by

Audition for Directed Experiences in Acting (THEA183). This is a half credit class that requires no papers, no reading, and no tests: just acting.

Actors who are cast will work with the students of Directing 1, and at the end of the semester you will present a scene. All levels of experience are welcome. Froshies: it’s a great opportunity for you to meet some people in the theater department whether or not you’re considering being a major, and it’s the only class for actors this semester. Everybody else: it’s a totally low pressure way to try out acting whether or not you’ve ever done it before and get some credit for it!

The class meets on Fridays from 1:10 to 4 p.m., and there will be 6-8 hours per week of outside rehearsal. You will be contacted the day after auditions and informed if you are cast, and then you should submit an enrollment request for the class and it will be approved.

Auditions will be Wednesday from 7 to 11 p.m. in the theater studios. For the audition, please prepare a 1-2 minute monologue (memorized, preferably written before 1970). Sign up on the call board in the theater studios.
