OK, so I finally took the time to find the TRiO office on the bottom of the SUB. They are the people organizing tutoring for the fall, and they gave me the dirt on paying gigs. There is a fairly straightforward application to become a tutor that you can pick up at their offices back in the cave by financial aid. You list the classes you want to tutor (you must have a B or higher and get an instructor's recommendation) and then there's a small survey involved.
Unsatisfied, I went over to the college of nursing in Sherrick Hall (above the duck pond, next to 11th) to follow-up on rumors of more medicine-specific opportunities. They told me that there will be plenty of work to be had with the general pre-nursing population in the fall. More specifically, a support program for native nursing students, called Caring For Own, will be looking for help as well. Nursing students need to take two semesters of chemistry: one, an abridged general chem course, the other, an introduction to bio- and organic.
I'm supposed to go back on Monday to talk to the organizer for all nursing tutoring, Twila Old Coyote, and negotiate a group rate for us. Well, something like that, anyway. If you're interested, let me know. If you want to talk to Twila in person, she can be reached at 994-2710.
