Launch of Privateer Engineer Tutoring Center
|
An environment to foster student success & community here in the Savoie College of Engineering is our primary goal. We are happy to announce the reopening of our new and improved Privateer Engineer Tutoring Center located on the 7th floor of the Engineering Building. The center will exude a student-centered environment and be self-managed by our very own engineering students. Students will be able to receive one-on-one or small group tutoring in subjects from all disciplines. Students will have access to study materials as well as a snack pantry. The center will be available to students 5 days a week.
