Our Annual Giving Campaign is on!We believe more students should have access to the Quest experience without worrying about money. Our Annual Giving Campaign raises funds for scholarships for the many deserving students who apply. Please help us support the next generation of Quest students by giving what you can.
Tutor Tip from Dr. Natalie Bursztyn (Physical Sciences)Take time (even just a short amount of time) that’s dedicated to you and your personal health and well-being. For the last year, Emma (a fellow Quest Tutor) and I have dedicated Monday afternoons to a short run. This gets us out of the classroom promptly, and sets the tone for the rest of the week. We are more productive when we are healthy!
