One of the most impactful academic initiatives of the year was the tutoring night hosted by the academic and curriculum affairs commissions. This event offered students targeted support in a relaxed, engaging setting, and proved to be more than just an event; it was a celebration of peer collaboration and mutual academic growth. The positive feedback from attendees confirmed its success.
