Peer Tutoring Where the Students Are

The Cooperative Learning Center engages a community of diverse learners in peer-to-peer collaboration to develop study skills, habits of mind, and knowledge essential for interdisciplinary learning. Our program works with faculty and staff to design and offer effective, collaborative, and active learning experiences. We provide tutors with the opportunity to develop teaching, leadership, and communication skills. Located on the second floor of the Tanimura and Antle Memorial Library, we occupy a central space on campus.

Yet the library is not where all students study or feel at home. In order to serve the most students possible, we have begun tutoring at satellite locations around campus--STEM studio, the Stats Cafe, the Math Study Hall, the Psychology Department. With the opening of student success centers on our campus to serve Latine and African American students--El Centro and the Helen Rucker Center for Black Student Excellence--we are beginning to offer tutoring services in those locations. Your donation will help us to sustain that commitment and expand our offerings in those centers.

These funds will allow us to have writing and math tutors hold regular hours in those centers, host Spanish discussion groups in El Centro, and offer mid-semester and end-of-semester “Long night against procrastination” events with snacks to feed students' bodies and brains.
