Academic Support

Academic Support partners with faculty and campus resources to enrich student learning across disciplines and beyond them. The office houses peer-assisted learning of many kinds as well as a variety of programming and supports that are valuable to learners in all degree programs at the college. Academic Support is here to help students get the most out of their education. Services are free and available to all enrolled students.

Writing Fellows work with all First-Year Writing courses and many writing-intensive and writing-enriched courses across academic disciplines.
