This semester, all Fulton Schools Tutoring Centers have re-opened and are fully operational. Students are invited to take advantage of the free tutoring services, provided by current students who have excelled in the same classes they tutor.

Fulton Schools students can start using the centers’ services starting Monday, August 23, 2021, during the following hours:

Aerospace engineering major Valentin Madrigal.

Valentin Madrigal is an Arizona State University transfer student from Central Arizona College. Inspired to pursue higher education to support his family, in addition to his fascination with space travel, he chose ASU for its renowned aerospace engineering program and anticipates that he will graduate in spring 2024.

As a first-generation college student, Madrigal chose to begin at a community college, as he struggled through high school and had very little knowledge of the American educational system. Coming from an underdeveloped part of Mexico that lacked a public education system, his parents had difficulties guiding him on his educational journey. He admits to having been an unmotivated student in high school because of impoverishment and family circumstances.

Convinced that he would never be able to go to college with his low GPA and ACT score, Madrigal joined the U.S. Army instead. With hard work and dedication, Madrigal is now a Phi Theta Kappa honor student who was able to fund his education using the GI Bill.

He took advantage of MyPath2ASU, a set of customized tools to help create a seamless transfer experience to ASU after a student earns credits or an associate degree from a U.S. community college or university. It allows students to choose from more than 400 pathways into an on-ground or online ASU degree program and have access to personalized benefits that help them navigate the transfer experience. By taking classes that transfer to ASU, students shorten their time to degree completion.

Learn more about Madrigal’s transfer experience.

Often in the engineering community, there is a large emphasis on technical interviews and behavioral interview prep tends to take a backseat. To many seasoned interviewers, behavioral interviews come very naturally. To those that are still new to it, it can be tricky to navigate. Behavioral interviews are how companies tell if a candidate will fit in their workplace. With the right practice, anyone will be able to ace the behavioral interview.

ASU Counseling Services is now available to any student, anywhere in the world, at any time, day or night.

ASU Counseling Services’ expansion to a 24/7, 365-days-a-year global service is thanks to the addition of Open Call and Open Chat. While students are still welcome to drop into any of the physical locations during regular business hours for same-day services, Open Call and Open Chat function as additional options to access the same level of care and expertise, wherever and whenever they need it.

Available in six languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Spanish, Open Call and Open Chat can be accessed through the MySSP @ASU website, by downloading the MySSP app or by calling 877-258-7429. ASU Counseling Services and MySSP are connected in an intentional, ongoing way to ensure students have streamlined and coordinated services, whether they are accessing care in-person or remotely.

Your security is our top priority. As part of our continuing effort to lead the way for security at ASU, students within the Fulton Schools have been invited to participate early in a new initiative to help prevent identity theft and reduce malicious cyber activity on ASU’s network. ASU is now offering two-factor authentication — a login process with a simple new step to verify your identity — using a tool called Duo. This process is designed to improve security on your accounts with the Fulton Schools and ASU as a whole.
