Tutoring Assistants:


	Keely Lawton I am a sophomore advertising/journalism major from Inwood, IA. I am on SDSU’s track and field team as a sprinter. I am also involved in ZAO, FCA, University Lutheran Center, and Oasis. I like to workout, play with my cats, see my friends and family, draw or listen to music in my free time. I also like meeting new people. I believe that everyone should take at least one nap a day. My family, friends, and my faith are very important to me and I think that everyone should go a little bit out of their way each day to make someone else’s day better.

	Megan Brandlee I am a freshman Dietetics major from Bristol, SD, and this is my first semester as a Tutoring Assistant. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to work out, swim, sing, and watch movies and baseball games. Fun Fact: This summer I will be participating in a charity 40 mile bike race in Fargo.
