To attend one of these 3 hour sessions and receive a take-
home review package, students pay a $20 donation.

All money raised from review sessions goes towards
building an education-related development project in Latin
America during a summer outreach trip.

Exam-AIDs are lectures taught by our Tutors that include a review of the
curriculum and example problems.
In 2011/2012, we taught 400 students and raised $7700!

President’s Message:
Our goal is not only to get large numbers of students attending our sessions, but more importantly to ensure
we provide a helpful and high-quality service.

The VP Academics organizes Course Coordinators and Exam-AID Tutors into groups to develop and run review sessions.
Tutors are upper-level students who have excelled in the course and are able to explain the material in fun and understandable ways.

The VP Marketing directs the General Volunteers to do marketing activities.
Long-term goal: Make UVic SOS a well-known name
across campus that is synonymous with quality review sessions!

General Volunteers advertise SOS Exam-AID review sessions with:
Posters and brochures and… some very creative marketing!
![Page 13: UVic SOS Welcome Fall 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5478b0e4b4af9f0b7b8b46bf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
General Volunteers are also cashiers at Exam-AIDs and run our recruitment table at campus events.

All the money we generate from Exam-AID sessions funds the supplies & building
materials for outreach projects.
But we don’t just give the money away…
These projects are constructed by SOS volunteers themselves!

The VP Outreach works with SOS staff at the national headquarters to design a volunteer outreach trip for
our chapter.
Participants pay about $1800 to cover costs for the 2-week trip.
This summer, UVic SOS members went to Guatemala to construct an
eco-friendly schoolhouse!
