HCC TEACHING AND LEARNING CENTER RECOGNIZES TUTORS

Haywood Community College recently recognized tutors at the school's fourth annual Honors Day Ceremony. Student, faculty, and community tutors were recognized for their valuable contributions to student success. Awards and certificates were presented to 41 student, 11 faculty, and 3 community volunteer tutors. Haywood Community College tutors have provided around 2000 hours of tutoring during the last scholastic year.

Elaine Barnes and Judi Martin of the Teaching and Learning Center praise tutors for their ongoing efforts to help students. Student tutors give up lunch hours, stay after class, and work late to help their classmates better understand course ideas. Faculty volunteers give above and beyond their hours in class to provide math, writing, and computer labs to help students needing one-on-one instruction. Community volunteers give freely of their time and academic talents to work individually with students.

"We would not be able to provide the academic support that we do without these tutors," said Elaine Barnes, TLC Coordinator. "Tutors make such a difference in these student's success by providing one-on-one attention. Sometimes it's a difference in passing a class." Barnes says that student, faculty, and community tutors come together to help students learn in a positive way that works.

Student tutors receiving awards were: Georgia Baxter, Lindsey Brown, Jennifer Burrows, Ruth Cairnes, Stephen Cairnes, Dylan Crouch, Jeremy Curran, Audrey Davis, Amber Davisson, Stephanie Driggs, Elizabeth Edwards, Amy Garascia, Danna Greene, Kathy Inman, Renee Jones, Rosemary Lohman, Cynthia Marsh, Deanna Mason, Kalyn Matthews, Allan McClure, Angela Meadows, Phyllis Medford, Catalina Meissner, Sarah Myers, Heather Newton, Kensaku Nishizato, Joanna Parham, Judith Pharr, Sherri Pitts, Leah Reece, Tiffany Reece, Robert Rogers, Joel Sellers, Danny Smith, Wayne Smith, Dale Tweddle, Jennifer Veilleux, Christy Wells, Christina Whitaker, Denise Wilson, and Jennifer Wyatt. Faculty receiving awards were: Lynn Beddow, Beverly Brown, Karen Fisher, Steven Heulett, Olivia Martin, Paul Puckett, Bill Rhodarmer, Mary Elizabeth Staiger, Juanita Stock, Margaret Studenc, and Amy Vester. Three community volunteers also received awards: Jim Bond, Bet Hinson, and Leora Schermerhorn.

Dale Tweddle received Tutor of the Year Award. Tweddle tutors students in mathematics. During the last year he tutored students for over 135 hours. Tweddle is enrolled in the Associate in Arts program and is a student ambassador. Upon graduation, he plans to transfer to a four-year school to pursue a degree in architecture.
