CE Halloween Party!
Thursday, October 28th from 6-whenever

Join us for our annual Halloween party this year! We’ll be having a costume contest for those interested in participating, fun food, games, and at 7:30pm we’ll be watching the movie Hocus Pocus! Bring your friends, take a break from studying, and come have some fun!

Tutor Tips
Halloween is just around the corner, and so there are lots of fun activities going on around campus that you could do with your tutee! Hoofer’s is holding a haunted house at Memorial Union tomorrow, CE has a Halloween party on Thursday, and Freak Fest is on Saturday! Another great activity would be watching scary movies!!! Or if you’re like me and scare easily, how about watching something like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” or “Ghostbusters?”

Tutor Appreciation Day!
We are looking for pictures to put in our slide show! So if you have any great photos of you and your tutee/tutor please send them our way!

Finally…
CE is short of tutors, so if you’d like to help out another student please let us know!

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Need help with study skills? Know lots of people?

The GUTS study skills department is looking to do a couple more workshops this semester. If you have a student org, a study group, or just a few friends that could all use help with the way you study, we can help!

We ask that you have at least 15 confirmed attendees but otherwise, we do our best to accommodate you. We can address time management, stress, organization, study methods, study groups, note taking and reading strategies, or any other ideas that you can come up with.

The format of our workshops is also flexible. Some groups prefer small group discussions, while others prefer a dynamic, interactive lecture. We can do both or any kind of combination. We have worked with groups from 15 people to 100 people and can find a style that fits your group.

Through our workshops you can help a large number of people at once, or just introduce them to services that GUTS study skills can provide. So get your friends together, head over to our website and register. Hope to hear from you soon.

And what you’ve all been waiting for….TUTOR TIPS of the week!
Need a good activity idea this week? How about carving pumpkins with your tutee! You can easily pick out some pumpkins at the farmer’s market and then after carving them, you can bake the pumpkin seeds for a yummy treat!
Next, if you are having any problems with your tutee or need any assistance feel free to email us or stop by the office! We are always available to answer questions and/or give advice!

CE This Week!

CE Hour w/ALPS:

Thursday, October 14th from 6-8pm

This week ALPS will be coming to CE Hour for some fun group-building activities! So bring your friends and join us for a night of fun!

Tutor Tip of the week:

American football can be an elusive topic for many International students. So why not try explaining the rules and watch a game together? Then they'll be able to understand the culture surrounding football!

Tutor Appreciation Day!

We are looking for pictures for our slide show! If you have any fun pictures of you and your tutee please send them our way! We'd love to incorporate them into our slide show!

Next week: Thursday, October 21st join us for our special guests: China's Champions at CE Hour!

Attention International Students!! Don't forget about CE's English Lesson! If you are having problems with or want to learn idioms or slang, then join one of our 4 free lessons! They are all led by great instructors and you're guaranteed to have a blast! You can sign up at the GUTS office!

Here come midterms!

The first round of midterms is here. They seem to be popping up all over the place. People are stressed, meetings are missed and extra-curriculars are taking a back seat. Just remember, don't let tests take over everything in your life. Have a plan early on and try to fit in studying around whatever else you need to do. Some things may have to fall by the wayside, but make a conscious decision about what your priorities are this week.

The week after midterms tend to be our busiest here in the GUTS office. If you sign up for a tutor or a study skills appointment next week, expect a little bit of a wait. We will do our best to match you as quickly as possible. Thanks for the patience.

Good luck this week, don't let tests get you down, and hang on it will be over soon.
