The Pine Technical College academic calendar lists Wed. Oct. 28 as "Student Advising Day," but this year, there's a new twist on the mid-term tradition.
"We've always scheduled a day for student advising, and it typically lands right around the mid-term," Dean of Student Affairs Nancy Mach said. "It's a day where students catch up with their advisors and a day where students catch up with their tutors, plus they can catch study tips and test-taking tips via special workshops or sessions on this day. Therefore, we're calling it 'Catch-Up Day!'" Mach explained.
Catch-Up Day events will start at 9 a.m. Although the day is not a mandatory day for students, all staff, faculty and advisors will be on hand. Catch-Up Day will lead seamlessly into the scheduled evening event, the College's Third Annual Open House, beginning at 5 p.m.
Clever PTC staffers will be serving free food with ketchup throughout Catch-Up Day, and prizes will be awarded every half-hour for students "caught" studying. For more information regarding the day's schedule of events, call 320-629-5100.
