Meeting an inspiration

Artists are a rare and inspiring breed. They create magnificent sculptures from blocks of clay, broad landscapes from blank canvases and portraits that capture the moments that makes us gasp. Their creations evoke emotion, challenge our values and pierce our heart. Creating something from nothing, they are society's great magicians. Senior art education major Tyler Kirkholm took a journey to New York City that brought him face-to-face with one of today's premier magicians, artist Karen Gunderson.

Learning Resources

Whether you want to make sure you really understand a concept before your next big test, are tired of getting exams or essays back covered in red marks, or just want confirmation that you understand specific subject matter, academic tutors are here to help. They are friendly students and professors who love seeing the “Ah-Ha!” look of understanding on students’ faces when they grasp a concept that had been evading them. Now imagine an entire platoon of tutors available at your disposal. Like an academic army for your brain, this is the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) .

The CAE is where good students go to get better. Based in the Information Technology Center Room 103, the CAE helps jack your grades to the start of the alphabet. Available free of charge, the CAE provides extra help for all subjects including writing, math, science, business, education classes and many others. Because everybody learns differently, each lab is equipped with expert tutors, who explain difficult concepts in unique and creative ways you will understand. Tutors are trained in learning strategies, study methods, social interaction, strategies for students with disabilities, and specific content area skills such as math methods and correctly citing sources to avoid plagiarism. Student tutors have been hand-picked because of their course aptitude and teaching ability, and each has experienced classes at BVU, making them conscious to what you’re going through.

Isn’t it time you feel that “Ah-Ha!” moment yourself?
