The Great Basin College Academic Success Center's Math Refresher Workshop will take place August 4 through 8 and August 11 and 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. The sessions will originate from GBC's High Tech Center, room 137 on the Elko campus. The workshops will also be broadcast using the college's interactive video distance education technology. Students in Battle Mountain, Ely, Pahrump and Winnemucca can attend the sessions at GBC campuses in those communities as well.

The workshops are free and no registration is required. The refreshers will help students prepare for the Accuplacer placement test, which determines in which college mathematics class a student may enroll.

According to Barbara Moss, GBC's Academic Success Center Director, students may attend as many of the sessions as they wish. "Whatever evenings they can come will be of benefit to them," she said.

For more information, contact Moss at 775-753-2144. Students in Pahrump can call, 727-2000.
