Computer Science / Re: CS 170 tutor

« on: March 21, 2012, 11:32:35 AM »

Hi duckpin,

Between being out of town and spring break, I just saw this post... my apologies!! E-mail TJ, our Vice President, at: tcarson@cs.odu.edu or stop by the meeting tomorrow and talk to him, and he will direct you to the right place. Sometimes he handles the tutoring directly, and sometimes he has other ACM members assist; either way, we will get you some help!

Thanks,

Marissa
