BAP Offers Tutoring/Advising Labs |
|
|
The pandemic has decreased the number of volunteer opportunities for BAP candidates and members to earn their volunteer hours. In addition, the pandemic has affected tutoring/advising opportunities for our students because of campus closures at UWB.
The BAP leadership team has decided to address both issues and we need your help!
|
|
|
|
|
Students, do you need help with your accounting courses?
BAP has launched a weekly lab for accounting students for tutoring/advising support. If you need help with assignments, questions about courses, and experiences in the program, join a lab session!! Current Juniors and Seniors in the program will help you!

Ongoing Community Service Opportunity |
|
|
- Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the elderly population to quarantine due to their vulnerabilities to the virus. The sustaining presence of friends and family has been told to distance thus leaving our older generation lonely and vulnerable to deteriorating mental health and acuity. As such, Neighborly is requesting individuals to write letters to lift spirits.
- Participation: Club members will receive 0.5 community service hours for each letter sent.
- To participate, please follow these steps:
- See the 7 writing guidelines here (sample letters on "See" tab)
- Make sure to sign your letter with your name (can exclude last name), chapter name (Beta Alpha Psi - Mu Psi Chapter), and school name (University of Washington).
- Email a picture of your completed letters to BAP reporter Mariya at mariyali@uw.edu to obtain community service hour credit for participation.
- You can put all your letters in 1 mail. Mail your completed letters to: Neighborly 3425 Bannerman Road Suite 105-420 Tallahassee, FL 3231
