SOCIALS
STUDY CRAM!!!
Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Saturday, June 6th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Finals
are just a few days from
this date
and I am giving everyone the opportunity to earn social points for STUDYING!!
That’s right, you read it correctly, social points for studying! Come on down
to UCSD campus and get your studying on before those darn Finals. Enjoy a
great morning of cramming in those last few hours of reading inside the
Biomedical library at UCSD before the big tests. The great thing about
this social is that there will be other PASS members there that I bet are even
in those same horrible/dreadful classes that you are taking. This means
that is not only a social but a free group study session if needed. Feel
free to come and study for an hour, grab a bite to eat and head on back to some
more terrific studying!

an orientation with Eva Mejia, the volunteer coordinator at Preuss School.
