What is your best advice for students? "You are who you surround yourself with. Always have a positive outlook!!" What is your favorite spot on campus?

I love to help students come up with new study strategies and to see them succeed." What do you like best about working at the CORD? "I’ve built so many relationships with students and other tutors, and I’ve learned how to work with a lot of different people." #StudentsHelpingStudents #UARK #SuccessHappensHere

CORD Employee Spotlight 🌟 meet Jamison Lord, Tutor! Favorite class you've ever taken & why? "My favorite class I have taken is definitely Environmental Engineering. We focus on water treatment and chemistry for use of the general population. In this class, I am able to see the direct impact of water treatment and can easily see how what I am learning is important and applicable to the world around me." What is your best advice for students? "Find a community of people, because they will help you through your hardest challenges, but also be there for all the fun times. It’s fun to make memories within your community and be able to look back on how they have become your guidance and strength." What is your favorite spot on campus? "My favorite spot on campus is Bell Engineering. Not only is the layout and architecture super cool, but it’s a place where I get to see all my friends, do homework, and collaborate with my peers." How does your work support students? "I feel like I support students by helping them find confidence. A main area I focus on when tutoring is encouraging students to talk kindly about themselves and be patient to the learning process. When students gain confidence, it’s easy to see their approach to learning become a positive feeling." What do you like best about working at the CORD? "The best thing about working at the CORD is being able to interact with so many different personalities and people. Every new person I meet is a new friendly face on campus, in turn making campus feel a little less big and a little more familiar." #UARK #SuccessHappensHere
