FYS Reading groups are designed for first-year students to be able to bring a reading assignment from FYS to tackle together with classmates. ELL Peer Tutors will be available to facilitate the reading groups, assist with comprehension of particularly tricky portions of readings, and provide tips and strategies for efficiently reading and taking notes on reading assignments. FYS Reading Groups begin next week and will occur Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm in the APEX Longbrake Commons.
