Do you like showing others ways to be a more effective and efficient student? Do your friends always come to you to look over their papers before they turn them in? Do you have a GPA above 3.0?

If you answered yes to these questions, you might have a future as a consultant in the Academic Resource Center (ARC). We are interested in students from any major (not just English).

Applications for the 2016-17 academic year are due by Friday, March 4. Application instructions and additional information are available at the ARC application page.

Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
