We are located on the third floor of the campus library. Our numbers for our services in general have increased yearly for the past seven years. Our services include peer walk-in and individualized tutoring, study skills classes, speed reading class, contract study tables, student athlete academic support program, special program for students on academic probation. Our Center is also the contact place for limited academic support services for students documented with a learning disability. We usually experience higher contacts in the fall semester due to incoming freshmen but for the past two years, our spring semester numbers are starting to come close to the fall numbers. We never stop marketing our services to the University community. We have learned over the years to never assume that students, faculty, residential life staff, and professional staff know about us and what is available through our Center for Learning Assistance to support the students and faculty. We are also very fortunate at this point in time to have strong support from our administration. This is my two cents' worth on the discussion about falling attendance. We are really busy right now and I only read one or two responses to this question earlier this morning. Our final exams begin next week!
