When a fire drill interrupted a Differential Equations Study Group and a Calculus session, it was no problem for the tutors who adapted to the circumstances!

The math continued outside with the tutors using sidewalk chalk to work through problems with students.

The center is so grateful to have such innovative and passionate tutors :)

Kinbo Yu, Peer Tutor, presented their research paper, "Analysis of Religious Experiences of Mohammad and the Buddha," at the annual American Academy of Religion Mid-Atlantic Conference at Princeton University.

"I was the only presenter from a community college, and, according to Dr. Dlugos, I was the first student at BCC who got accepted to present at the annual American Academy of Religion Conference. I arrived at Bergen Community College in January 2019 as an F-1 international student and started in the ALP Foundations program. It is a huge personal accomplishment to have been selected to present a paper at the American Academy of Religion Mid-Atlantic Conference at Princeton University three years later."
