We are excited to announce the relocation of the Academic Support Center to the second floor of the library, a move that offers numerous benefits to the Walsh University community. With both the Academic Support Center and library staff under one roof, students now have a centralized hub for academic support needs. This integration makes it easier for students to access resources and expertise in a shared, single, convenient location. The new space allows students to take advantage of the library's resources while receiving personalized academic guidance, tutoring, and accommodations. Dr. Edna McCulloh, Associate Vice President for Academic Administration, shared her excitement for the transition, “We should look forward to the variety and range of student support services and resources made available by Meredith Soduk, Director of Academic Support Center, and Brian Richards, Director of Library Services.”

The Academic Support Center staff are excited to collaborate with on campus partners, including Library Services and the Office of Student Activities, to showcase their new home and welcome students back to campus during the First Day Fair and Open House on Monday, Aug. 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come explore the new space, receive free giveaways, meet the Academic Support and Library staff, and discover the wide array of services available to support your academic journey!
