Workshops
Come with your friends and classmates for presentations on topics like time management, taking notes in class, test anxiety, passing your exit exams, and more! Also, throughout the semester, we run success skill workshops in junction with TRIO and Rising Star. Watch for the dates/times and be sure to check them out!
Supplemental Instruction
During Supplemental Instruction sessions, students work with a "student leader" who has already taken the course and earned an "A". The student leader is trained in effective group study techniques, and uses these techniques to achieve productive, useful SI sessions.
Study Groups
The Director of the Learning Center works with students who wish to start or join a study group in any subject. The Director assigns a Learning Center tutor and space for the study groups.
