Academic Support Services - Week 7
I encourage you to put the pride aside and ask for help. If you need help in class, get a tutor. If you need directions to the financial aid office, ask for them. Look at it this way: You will become smarter if you ask for help when you need it.
–Tim Milburn, university campus life director.
