The 5th/6th Department selected Gerwin as Student of the Week (September 7-11, 2015) for the following reasons:

Gerwin is a great addition to our classroom! He is a great partner and table mate paying special attention to details and helping to keep his group on task. He actively participates in group discussions and shares his ideas with the group. Gerwin has already developed great time-management skills and is very organized. He is off to a great start and I think Gerwin will have a terrific year! Keep up the good work, Gerwin! :)
