Here we are, already halfway through the fall semester of 2018. Midterm grades are in. Are you feeling good about your grades so far? If you’re not, NOW is the time to make your way over to the Tutoring Center and get your hands on a schedule for the tutors availability. If getting tutoring in person is not your style, then log on to the SMCC website and use the online tutoring available through the Library and Learning Commons. Whatever you do, do something to address your needs in the courses you are not doing as well in as desired.

Have you applied for your 2019 FAFSA yet? If you have not, now is the time, so go and get that FREE Money before it is too late! If you have any problems finding or filling out your FAFSA, you can go to the Campus Center and talk with Patrick, Travis or any of the helpful staff that are there for you. You can also go to the Financial Aid Office located within the Campus Center. Just make sure you apply for your 2019 FAFSA right after your read this, before it is too late!

The Veterans Club social at On the Border restaurant was a success! There was good food, great people, and even greater conversations and laughs. If you missed out, don’t worry, there are more opportunities to get social with the other SMCC Veterans on campus this Nov. 7 at the McKernan Hospitality Center at 7:30 a.m. I know that is early, but it’s worth it for a hot breakfast with fellow veterans who may be able to help you, or at least make your college experience a little better. Open yourself up to some new opportunities; that’s how new fun things find their way in.
