Dear Visitors and Friends:The Eastern Connecticut State University Learning Center staff and I welcome the opportunity to serve all who wish to use our services. We encourage your visit to the Center early in the semester to explore the many options made available. The quality and success of the offerings we provide all depend on timely intervention, assessment of need and a focused response to the need.
Our goal is to “serve students first” with offerings that have relevance and substance. The Center’s service offerings include tutoring support, one-to-one assistance in writing, math and experiences that enhance skills development, time management or academic support in other ways. All of our program offerings are designed to ensure students of achieving their full potential at the college level.
STEP (Summer Transition at Eastern Program) is an integral component of CAP (Contract Admissions Program), and together they are educational development and support services that are made available to students through the Learning Center at Eastern Connecticut State University. The programs offer counseling, tutoring, development courses and financial assistance (when need is demonstrated) to fifty to sixty highly motivated students who, using traditional criteria, might have been denied admission to the University.
Eastern Connecticut State University and the Learning Center realize the need to serve outside the walls of the academy. This ideal is achieved by the service the Center provides middle and high schools from the communities of New London, Windham, Norwich and through the Connecticut Collegiate Awareness and Preparation Program (ConnCAP). Often the Learning Center staff is sought out to consult and design academic support strategies for a wide range of agencies who serve youth.
I encourage you to explore our web site and review the many services you can access. We are here to serve all Eastern’s students – those who want to enhance their high achievement goals and those who may experience difficulty. All are welcome and assured the best in quality of service. Our telephone number for information and assistance is 465-5198. The Learning Center is located in the Alvin B. Wood Building on the second floor, section 204.
We wish for you every success in your academic endeavors.
Sincerely,
Floyd E. Bagwell, Jr.
Director
