Tutor Tuesday:

West Virginia University was closed last week for the holidays, so we reluctantly missed a previous Tutor Tuesday. Today we have two tutors to recognize, our lovely Emily and Erin.

Emily is an undergraduate, Biochemistry major. Her favorite quote is: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Erin is an undergraduate, Multidisciplinary Studies and Child Development Double Major. Her favorite quote is: "Have courage and be kind”- Cinderella
