The Learning Center is pleased to introduce three new employees to the campus community. Our Supplemental Instruction, Academic Success Coaching (formerly SupportNet), and Tutoring programs are now fully staffed and ready to serve students this upcoming fall semester. Visit the Learning Center website to learn more about each program.

Rigoberto (Rigo) Flores, Tutoring assistant coordinator, grew up in Porterville and graduated from San Jose State University with a bachelor's and master's in communication studies. As the tutoring assistant coordinator, Flores works alongside our tutoring coordinator on program development, tutor recruitment and tutor training.

Alexandra (Alex) Chavez, Academic Success Coaching assistant coordinator, received a bachelor's in Mass Communication and Journalism and a master's in Student Affairs and College Counseling at Fresno State. As the Academic Success Coaching assistant coordinator, Chavez supports our Academic Success Coaching team with student staff development, coordinates faculty and staff referrals and provides holistic coaching to our students.

Stephanie Izaguirre, Supplemental Instruction specialist, earned a bachelor's in business management and a master's in Student Affairs and College Counseling from Fresno State. Within her role as the Supplemental Instruction specialist, Izaguirre works directly with our Supplemental Instruction team supporting supplemental instruction leader recruitment efforts, student staff training and promoting student success through various initiatives.

SupportNet is now called Academic Success Coaching

Starting fall 2022, the SupportNet program will transition to a new name — Academic Success Coaching to better align with services provided to students.

Academic Success Coaching will continue to provide one-on-one holistic support to students that focus on study strategies (time management, goal planning, test taking, etc.) while also offering in-person and virtual Academic Success Workshops. Our team will serve all students on campus with a focus on first-time freshmen on probation and referrals from faculty and staff. Students will be able to work with certified academic coaches as they navigate their college experience at Fresno State. For more information, visit www.fresnostate.edu/asc.
