Senior Anthony Tom earned the Outstanding Undergraduate Tutoring Award for tutoring students in the Introduction to Nuclear and Radiological and Introduction to Radiological Engineering courses during the 2020–21 academic year.
“Some of the best experiences were when I was able to help solve a problem we were struggling on for a while, whether it was a small calculator error or something conceptual,” he said. “From an academic perspective, it helped me not forget what I had learned in those classes last year.”
Outside academics, tutoring gave him a chance to get to know peers outside of his classes. He says that receiving tutoring was always helpful to him, no matter the class, and becoming a tutor gave him an added sense of satisfaction.
