At the event, tutors and their students met with the aim of forging ties and thus continuing to strengthen and bond the students.

The team of the Support Program for Student Permanence, Performance, Leveling and Comprehensive Development, APRENDE ULS, in order to strengthen the relationship between students and peer-specialist tutors of the 40 majors of the University, held the first meeting of tutors 2019.

For the coordinator of the Follow-up and Monitoring area APRENDE ULS, Marcela Altamirano, “the meeting was a very significant event to contribute to strengthening the identity of specialist tutors and students accompanied by the program. Together, it constituted a space for socialization, in which all participants shared psychoeducational dynamics that allowed them to strengthen interpersonal relationships between them.”

In addition, the coordinator of Academic Liaison APRENDE PACE ULS, Loreto Garrido, said that “on the occasion, students who served as coordinating tutors during the first semester participated as speakers, who recounted their experiences in the program and also some perceptions that they gathered from the students, in the tutorial spaces; This generated a lot of attention from the attendees.”

The activity program was based on exposing the work procedure established for carrying out the tutorials, according to three areas: academic, psychoeducational, and monitoring and follow-up. Part of the APRENDE ULS program team and peer tutors who have had good accompaniment practices participated in these presentations.

In this context, Su-Ling Chea, APRENDE ULS coordinating tutor and student of the Journalism degree, stressed that “it was a very positive day, where we were able to share among ourselves the tutors and our tutees, learn in greater depth the work of the professionals that are part of the program; I was able to tell my experience and I think it is important for us as students to know the reality of being part of APRENDE ULS, to understand that it is a network that works in our University.”
