Things are starting to heat up at GUTS for the final 6 weeks (really? how can school be that close to being over already?) of school, but before we preview the rest of the year next week, don't forget....
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR HIRING! If you want an awesome job at GUTS next year, and trust us, you do, then get in your application today by 5 pm! There's still 3 more hours left!
Not convinced of our awesomeness?
Reasons to work at GUTS include:
Great friends - seriously, you will not find a more fun and friendly group of people.
Great workplace - where else can you blare any music you want during your shift and have no one care?
Flexible hours - Yes, that's right. Other than 4 scheduled hours a week, you come and go as you please. Awesome, right?
Great resume experience - Event planning? Check. Teamwork skills? Check. Organizational skills? Check. Anything you want to do at GUTS, there will most likely be someone to help you make it happen.
So go ahead. Go to guts.studentorg.wisc.edu/hiring/, check out our open positions, and then send us a resume and cover letter explaining how awesome you are, along with two references that can vouch for it. (Seriously, don't wait, there's only a few hours left!)

Weekly What's Up at GUTS (3/3-3/9)
Well, the sun has started to shine a bit, the birds are beginning to do that chirping thing again, and its time for some fun and festivities at GUTS!
First, HIRING HAS BEGUN! Though most of us are graduating in May and will be very sad to leave for everything from the workforce to grad school, we can't wait to meet all the new people that are going to make GUTS even bigger and better next year! We have positions open in every single program, from Academic Match to Foreign Language Learners to a new Webmaster, so everyone is encouraged to apply!
If you want to meet our current staff or know more before applying, come to one of our Info Sessions:
Tuesday, March 8 from 6:00-7:00, SAC 3161
Monday, March 21 from 5:00-6:00, SAC 4201 (Hearing Room)
Conversational English Hour has changed from 6-8 pm to 7-9 pm today because...ITS MARDI GRAS time! CE has partnered with BRIDGE and the D-Squad to bring you a Masquerade Ball in the room across from the CCE! Don't miss out on tons of beads, masks and a whole lot of fun! Next week we'll be talking about language and returning to the usual time.
CE is also looking for more tutors and tutees, so if you're interested at all or know someone that might be, don't hesitate to drop by the office or check out our website!
Idiom of the week: To have two left feet.
Example: Tomorrow at the dance I'll definitely need to take advantage of the free dance lessons because I've got two left feet! My dancing is terrible!
Study Skills is continuing their weekly Study Skills classes. Tonight they'll be here in the GUTS office from 6-7 pm, so come by if you want to learn more or need help with things like note-taking, memorization, time management and more!
McBurney Study and Learning Skills welcomes McBurney students to set up an appointment before midterms. SLSS staff can help with multiple choice test taking, reading strategies, and exam anxiety. Students with a McBurney visa can set up a one-on-one appointment or simply stop by our drop-in session hours on Thursdays from 2:30-4:30, at the McBurney south conference room. Students can stop by the McBurney Center (702 W. Johnson Street, Suite 2104) or email SLSS (guts-slss@rso.wisc.edu) for more information.
Last but not least, the GUTS Conversational English Raffle is still going on! It ends next Thursday, so get your nominations in while you still can! One last time, here's the rules:
For every tutor you refer that CE can match, you will receive one entry into the Refer a Tutor Raffle! All you have to do take a minute to tell someone to join the fun. Anyone involved in any GUTS program is eligible, so don't delay!So get to it! You can also find out more on our Facebook page!

Welcome Back and the Weekly What's Up at GUTS!
Welcome back everyone! The semester is finally really underway, and we've got some exciting new things happening at GUTS! For the rest of the semester, you can check back every Thursday for updates on the upcoming week's activities!
But first, a quick note:
McBurney Study Skills has moved from the Middleton Building to their new location at 702 W. Johnson Suite #2104, right by the new Admissions Office.
On to the fun stuff!
Academic Match is well underway and is accepting both tutors and tutees for spring!
We always need more tutors, especially in subjects like Chemistry, Econ and Stats, so don't hesitate to stop by if you want to help. You need to have received a B in the class you want to tutor and be able to make a two hour a week time commitment. Not bad for the satisfaction of helping other students succeed, right? You can sign up on our website or drop by our office!
Conversational English had their kickoff last week! It was a ton of fun for everyone, with cake and the opportunity for attendees to meet new friends and learn about different cultures (and cake). Tonight's Conversation Hour will focus on Valentine's Day, with the opportunity to make Valentine's Day cards, frost yummy cookies, and learn about the holiday and its history. Don't miss out! Come to the CCE (under Gordon Commons) from 6-8 pm!
In addition, CE is hosting a Refer a Tutor Raffle from now to March 10! And who doesn't love a good raffle? Here's the deal:
Foreign Language Learners needs tutors! Are you a native speaker of a foreign language or know someone who is? We need people to lead weekly conversation hours for students learning a language who want a little extra help or practice! Interested? Sign up on our website or drop by the office at 333 E. Campus Mall #4413!
And last but not least, Study Skills is starting weekly classes next week! Need more help than just one appointment can provide? Now you can get help every week. Come learn about new techniques for time management, test-taking, staying on track for classes, concentration, note-taking and more! Swing by the office and sign up, classes start February 24th.
McBurney is also starting a weekly SLSS “drop in” session from 2:30-4:30pm on Thursdays. This is for students who would like to get quick study skills help without making an appointment, collaborate with other students, or simply “check-in” and make a plan for the upcoming week.
That's it for this week! Don't forget to check back every Thursday for updates on what's happening at GUTS (you can also check our Events Calendar) and we can't wait to see you around!
