participate in the Tutoring Blitz: 1-The hour(s) of tutoring you get through the Blitz do not count against your
normal tutoring hours, 2-It’s only available to TRiO SSS students, 3-It’s on Friday afternoon which allows you to
get your last minute questions answered so you can prepare on your own over the weekend, 4-We make it
fun! and 5-There’s FREE food! Advanced sign up is required for this event because arrangements need to be
