The CNAS Town Hall will connect undergraduate students with both the ASUCR
CNAS Senators and CNAS student organizations (CNAS Science Ambassadors,
CNAS Scholars, CNAS Peer Mentors, CNAS Transfer Connections). This will
allow students to ask/voice any concerns they may have to their ASUCR
representatives, while also learning about resources they have as CNAS
students. Everyone is able to come, it's not just limited to CNAS students
or ASUCR officials. If you're interested in seeing how ASUCR works, this
event could be a good opportunity to get involved! Additionally, if you're
a CNAS student who wants to get involved in certain student organizations,
this event is also a great opportunity to meet some organizations!

🌟 Resource Highlight : Tutor Assistance Program

Hello, first-year students! My name is Andrew Boyd, and I'm a first-year
Sociology major at UCR. I wanted to share an academic resource that has
been especially helpful to me: the Tutor Assistance Program (TAP) at the
Academic Resource Center. If you're looking for support in subjects like
math, science, or English, TAP is a great place to start. The program
offers tutoring across a wide range of courses, including many related to
your major. TAP tutors-who are experienced upperclassmen-also teach
valuable study skills and strategies that promote critical thinking and
help you build the habits needed for long-term academic success.

Personal Story: On November 11th, 2025, I scheduled a tutoring session with
TAP because I needed help writing my essay for WRIT 0105. In the past, l've
struggled with creating strong thesis statements and organizing my ideas
effectively, so l asked the tutor from the program to help me in developing
a solid thesis and to provide feedback on my draft. My tutor was extremely
helpful since she offered great insight on how I could strengthen my paper
and asked thoughtful questions about how my ideas connected to the prompt.
Through brainstorming different topics together, she encouraged me to think
more critically about my evidence and reasoning and ensure I was addressing
the prompt directly. After that, we worked on structuring those ideas into
clear, well-organized paragraphs. Overall, the experience was very
positive, and I would highly recommend the Tutor Assistance Program to all
1st year students.

More Info:  Students are able to schedule appointments online or at the
Academic Resource Center at 957-827-3721. Tutoring sessions are offered
either in-person or via zoom. Also, sessions can be in-group or single
person. Student session are 50 minutes per appointment.
