Mission:
The Writing and Learning Commons (WaLC) and Mathematics and Computer Science Tutoring
Center (MTC) seek to create a supportive community where students are empowered to
achieve their academic goals. Our peer educators promote evidence-based strategies
for effective learning in an environment where effort and mistakes are seen as vital
components of the learning process. By partnering with faculty, we identify exceptional
student leaders based on their disciplinary knowledge and their interest in helping
others. The WaLC and MTC also provide comprehensive training that allows peer educators
to develop their professional competencies, enhance their learning, and gain transferrable
skills that will serve them well beyond graduation.
