Slawsky Clinic for Engineering Sequence (PHYS161, PHYS260, PHYS270) Academic Support
The Slawsky Clinic has been helping students since the mid-1970s. The Physics Department and Milton and Zaka Slawsky established the clinic in 1975. Milton and Zaka were identical twin brothers with PhDs in physics. After they retired, they contacted the Physics Department looking for a way to volunteer their services. This resulted in the Mollie and Simon Slawsky Memorial Tutoring Clinic for Physics, named for their parents.
Tutors for Non-UMD Students
The Physics Department does not coordinate student tutors for non-UMD students.
