The Learning Center is home to nearly 140 student staff members and programs, which are nationally certified and recognized for excellence in service and impact.

How can the Learning Center be of support as you guide students on their academic journey this semester? Well, we’re glad you asked!

Tutoring
This semester, the Tutoring program is offering support to over 143 courses ranging from business, science and math to writing. The program offers small group tutoring, one-on-one tutoring for select disciplines, project-based learning events and countless online resources. It is a tutor’s essential responsibility to create an environment where learning is less stressful and more enjoyable, while being equally as impactful. Tutors do this by pairing research-based learning strategies with an appreciation for the unique learning needs of each student. Peer Tutors are trained on successful ways of providing a space where students can be authentically themselves while strengthening content understanding. Students set the pace, students set the agenda and tutors simply guide the way.

Supplemental Instruction (SI)
This semester, SI is proud to collaborate closely with six of the eight colleges on campus. SI offers study sessions exclusively for students enrolled in courses embedded with the SI component. SI Leaders are students who have successfully passed the course and now facilitate group study sessions for currently enrolled students. They work alongside faculty members to ensure content is accurate and reflects what is being taught within the classroom. SI Leaders integrate a variety of transferable learning modalities and study skills into their sessions to equip students to thrive in their current and upcoming courses.

With the goal of increasing access to this support service, SI is accessible in-person and online! Students are encouraged to maximize opportunities to meet peers and learn course content by attending SI.
