The Writing Center (in Franz 120, the Learning Resource Center) is available to your summer students as a resource for their writing assignments. In contrast with regular semesters, where students make appointments via an online schedule, summer appointments are made via email on an as-needed basis. Writing@up.edu is the general e-mail through which students can arrange an appointment with any of four writing assistants this term (Megan Lester, Sara McCrohan, Erin Savoia, Andrea Turel). See the Writing Center website at www.up.edu/lrc/writing/ for information about writing resources, and for questions contact Lars Erik Larson, English, at larson@up.edu.
During the initial weeks of the first summer session, the Learning Assistance Program will offer individual consults on time management, test taking, note taking, reading strategies, reduction of test anxiety, and memory skill development. Individual appointments may be made with Bro. Thomas Giumenta, C.S.C., at this link: http://tinyurl.com/kqm9ffn.
