Supporting Academic Excellence
Our approach is 100 percent student centered. Our goal is to help students make meaningful interventions at every stage of the academic life cycle, understanding that academic support is an essential good for all learners. We work to help students cultivate within themselves the skills necessary to manage competing demands, to deal productively with setbacks, and to approach with enthusiasm challenging situations both in and beyond the classroom.
Partner with CCE to explore career options, prepare for internships and jobs, build connections and design your next steps.
We have help rooms for math, chemistry, physics, statistics, and writing that are open to all students.
The Core Curriculum is the set of common courses required of all undergraduates and considered the necessary general education for students, irrespective of their choice in major.
CTL partners with faculty, students, and colleagues across the University to support excellence and innovation in teaching and learning.
