The new tutoring center on the St. Paul Campus is a busy place. Following a successful Open House on September 15, the tutors are getting to know each other and their "customers" in the SMART Center. SMART, an acronym for science, math, and research tutoring, also includes a writing tutor and librarians. Located in 43 Classroom Office Building, the Center is a collaboration with the Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence, which is contributing much of the tutoring, writing tutors from the Department of Rhetoric, reference staff from Margrath Library, and tutors from Animal Science and Applied Economics. While the SMART Center serves a core population--the COAFES SEAM cohort (Student Excellence in Academics and Multiculturalism) and Diversity Scholars--the Center is available to all students.
Encourage students to take advantage of this new resource on the St. Paul Campus. Current hours of the Center can be found at http://www.rhetoric.umn.edu/smartcenter/.
