Welcome Back!

Welcome to the new semester (and a special welcome to all new faculty and staff at King)! The campus is abuzz with activity as we start the Fall '09 term. We have had a Golf Tournament, brand new shelving in the library, and new tutors in the Learning Centre. Read on for more news!

New Tutors in the Learning Centre

The Learning Centre provides FREE tutoring for general and program-specific courses. Located inside the Library, the Learning Centre is open Monday-Friday, from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. New tutors from the University of Waterloo are available to work with your students. The centre will also be hiring Peer Tutors over the next few weeks. For suggestions and comments, please contact Marlene Lecompte. Pictured: Rose, Allison, Victor, Rasha, Daniela, and Marlene.

Re-vamped Library

King Library recently got brand new book shelves and a rearranged layout. View the video below to see how it was done and stop by to have a look.

Library Millionaires at the Residence Challenge

King Library staff took part in the Residence challenge on September 8th by staging the wildly popular "Who Wants to be a Library Millionaire" game. Fun and engaging, the game is designed to teach students about library services and policies. Please contact Autumn Piette if you would like library staff to stage this type of event for your students.

King Classic Golf Tournament

A great time was had by all at the first of what will become an annual golf tournament for King staff. Congratulations to the winning team of Justin Boudreau, David Connelly, Kevin Kennedy, and David Sernick!
