Got a project to finish? Want help from an expert in a particular discipline? Need to use technology to enhance your work? You can do it all in one place: the University's SMART Learning Commons,a new way of conceiving and offering academic services.

The SMART Commons brings together an array of academic support services under one roof: course support, information literacy, writing support, technology support, and more. Peer Learning Consultants offer one-on-one assistance as well as group support for help in mathematics, sciences, statistics, economics, writing, German, Spanish, and library research. The SMART Commons also hosts short introductory workshops in Excel, PowerPoint, academic services, and library resources.

A SMART Commons has existed in Wilson Library since 2004, and SMART's newest location in Magrath Library celebrated its grand opening on April 25. Plans are in the works for a future Commons space in Walter Library.
