CAS August student worker of the month
Congratulations to Hannah Tolan who is the LLCC Center for Academic Success’ August student worker of the month! Hannah is one of only three peer tutors who worked through the summer, providing essential coverage for the LLCC Math Center. In addition to their own course work and their other student worker position on campus, Hannah is adaptive to the center’s needs to provide essential academic support to our students. Hannah is always flexible with scheduling, and their attention to detail and suggestions for updates and improvements have helped keep the Math Center running smoothly during the summer months. Hannah is a motivated self-starter, and CAS is excited for them to continue working and providing tutoring support to students in the Math Center this fall.
