A photograph of Nick Lotierzo tutoring a student. Both men are seated at a blonde wooden table in the CS drop-in tutoring room. There is a blackboard with various equations behind them, as well as brown, felt chairs lined up in a row against the beige wall. Nick is a young white man, wearing a long sleeved gray shirt pushed up to his elbows. He has brown hair swept to either side of his face. He has a thin brown beard. He’s pointing with a pencil at a tablet screen. The tablet is blue, with an electronic pen resting on top. The tutee is another white young man, with a partial beard and dirty blonde hair. He is wearing a gray AC/DC sweatshirt. He is looking to where Nick is pointing. On the table, you can see the top quarter of his silver laptop.
