Hoping to find a volunteer to commit to the whole semester and be able to be there for the entire time slot (12:30-2:45). If you can only commit to one of the days each week (Tues or Thurs), though, that would be okay. Also willing to accomodate volunteers that can only come every other week or can only be there for part of the time slot.
