Homework Hotline Opening for Fall 2011
On behalf of Harvey Mudd College and the Homework Hotline, I am pleased to announce that funding was awarded this summer to continue offering free, over-the-phone mathematics and science tutoring to all students in grades 4-12. The success of our first year provided evidence of the need for an open-access, free tutoring program. During our first year of operation, we tutored 2,278 students in mathematics (80%), science (10%), and other subjects (10%). We look forward to starting our second year of operation. Our official start day is Tuesday, September 6 at 6 p.m.

New in 2011-12
We are very thankful to all our school personnel for providing feedback on the Homework Hotline Educator Survey at the end of the spring semester. Based on the feedback received, the following will be a priority during this school year:
1. Increased visibility at schools
2. More direct contact with educators
3. Promotional material availability for distribution at start of fall and spring semesters or trimesters
