BE A TUTOR!
and dynamic tutoring programs? If so, please read on to learn about
what MOVE's tutoring programs have to offer you!
TEACH is offering two tutoring opportunities:
Place: Henry Grady High School
Subject: Math
Days: Mon-Thurs
Time: 3:30-4:30 pm
Duration: 1 hr.
Place: Create Your Dreams
Subjects: Calculus, chem, bio, physics, etc.
Days: Tues
Time: 5-7 pm
Duration: 2 hrs.
If you would like to join or have any questions, please e-mail
Christine Kim
(ckim77@gatech.edu) the times that you can tutor, the subject and
place, and your transportation situation (car or no car). If you do
have a car, let me know if you are comfortable with carpooling with
others. We should be starting tutorials on the week of January 23 so
please send in your information ASAP.
Children's Restoration Network (CRN) is a new program that focuses on
tutoring and mentoring homeless children living in shelters in the
Atlanta area. This program offers a lot of benefits for volunteers, such as:
1. Great experience: It's a wonderful opportunity for tutors/mentors to
interact with a wide age range of students. Volunteers build strong
relationships with their students and become a positive role model for
a child just by spending time with them.
2. Flexible schedule: Volunteers may choose the dates and times at
which they would like tutor, and volunteers are only required to
tutor/mentor once a week for 1.5 hours. In addition, volunteers can
choose a certain age range to tutor as well as whether they would
prefer one-on-one or small group tutoring.
3. Easy access: There are a few shelters within walking distance of
Tech, so transportation would not be required for volunteers who choose
those locations.
This program is a great way to give back to the community and to make a
huge difference in one child's life just by showing up once a week and
showing them that someone cares about their well-being!
For more info or to sign up, visit
http://move.gatech.edu/tutoring/crn.php
or feel free to contact Joyce Wong at jwong32@gatech.edu. Please sign
up before JANUARY 24 to begin volunteering this semester.
CORE is a tutoring and mentoring program for elementary and middle
school students. This program operates outside of the classroom
environment and includes field trips for the students and tutors. This
program volunteers at City of Refuge in the afternoon Monday through
Thursday. For more information, please contact Marcus Walker at mwalker42@gatech.edu.
PIE is an opportunity to assist middle school students as they study
for standardized tests. This occurs primarily in a classroom setting,
but also offers 1 on 1 tutoring. For more information, please contact
Stefanie Olivier at solivier6@gatech.edu.
TTP is a tutoring program that works in all subjects at Centennial
Place Elementary, which is very walkable from campus. This program
only requires one hour of tutoring time a week and is very flexible.
For more information, please contact Kelsie Riemenschneider at kjr3@gatech.edu.
If you have any other questions regarding tutoring or MOVE, please feel
free to contact me, Christina Bins, at cbins3@gatech.edu.
Thank you, and I look forward to an exciting year of tutoring with you!

Ripple Effect
Ripple Effect is an organization based on the simple premise that our collective creativity and initiative is the first step in preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. We hope that our grassroots campaign ripples across communities, borders, and generations to stop the transmission of HIV and AIDS. Our vision is to prevent the spread of HIV through empowering youth and community leaders to become peer educators within their communities.
Our concept is very simple: to spread HIV prevention awareness by taking the pledge to promote HIV activism among others (resembling the Pay It Forward system). If one person tells 5 other people about HIV transmission and prevention, and those 5 people tell 5 others then we can end what started as a ripple, with a ripple. Each person can take the pledge, the way he/she wants (whether it's through sponsoring an HIV Orphan or through changing his/her facebook status for a week). We hope by instilling this culture of activism, we can create a Ripple Effect. During the past year, we have done creative events to spread HIV awareness; these events included coordinating a Flash Mob and setting up a banner that spelled the word AIDS with 500 condoms.
We would love for you to come to our meeting to learn more about the organization. We are looking for dedicated and motivated individuals for leadership positions, as well as anyone who wants to make an impact in a fun, creative way.
We look forward to seeing you at the first meeting and working with you in the future! Be sure to RSVP at event page on facebook:
What: Ripple Effect General Info Session
When: 6 PM on October 10, 2011
Where: Student Center Theater

Refreshments will be provided!

The VIP Team needs you if you are interested in any of the following:
• Thermodynamics and/or statistical mechanics
• Macromolecular structure and function
• Computer simulations and/or programming
• Classical mechanics
• Web page design and maintenance
Computer simulations on biological macromolecules are critical components of efforts at
understanding structure-function relationships, and for structure-based molecular
design. The Computational Structure Biology VIP Team (VP6) is developing web-based
tutorials to facilitate the understanding of basic principles of macromolecular simulations
and the applications of such simulations to problems in structural biology.
The tools developed by the VIP Team will be the core of a new text in Computational
Structural Biology. They will be used by students in molecular modeling courses, and by
individuals who are learning simulation methods through independent study.
Students register for one or two credit hours each semester in PHYS, BIOL, CS or ECE
courses listed at the 2000, 3000 or 4000 level. Team meetings are Tuesdays, 9:35–
