LARC Mission Statement

The Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC) strives to provide quality academic support services which help students become independent, active learners who achieve academic success. The LARC aims to promote cognitive development in a diversity of student populations through assessing and teaching the affective skills necessary for achieving academic and personal learning goals.

LARC Vision Statement

The pursuit of a quality education, although contingent upon professors and administrators, is essentially a venture of self-reliance. At the Learning Assistance and Resource Center, we envision a University populated with independent learners imbued with a desire to learn, to improve, and to progress. Our tutors promote the critical thinking skills necessary for students to find unique and creative solutions to achieve academic success and actively pursue career goals.

LARC Learning Outcomes:

• Students will apply study skills and strategies to become independent and active learners and achieve academic success.
• Peer tutors will demonstrate above average performance in the program-identified critical tutoring tasks.
• Students who attend review sessions will apply test-taking strategies and reasoning to succeed in the PPST PRAXIS I Test.
