Learning Center prepares for the New Year

Learning Center Offers Free Resources for Students
Located in Thomas Hall, you will find the CLC (Comprehensive Learning Center), with new hours, along with a new team of tutors. The CLC holds high expectations for this school year. “The students are awesome this fall, they make this a fun place to learn” says CLC supervisor Brenda Kinderknecht.
There is a wide range of resources available, with access to computers, tutoring, reference books and study guides and all of the services are free. Everyone is welcome in the CLC, and students do not need appointments. Just drop in, and you can get answers to quick questions, find a quiet place to study, or meet with a tutor to get help with homework. “We have a great team of tutors. And students are discovering how easy it is to drop in and get some help, use the computers or just hang out and study,” says Kinderknecht.
Here at Colby CC we are well equipped with the resources needed to help students be successful. Using the CLC is a great way to broaden your educational experience. The Learning Center can give students the extra support they need to develop study skills and test taking techniques, and to be prepared for class and complete assignments with confidence.
There are many resources that can contribute to a college student’s success, but many times we do not take advantage of the help that is available. Freshman Cassie Smatana says, “When I hear the word tutor I automatically think, someone who can help you with any problems you may run into with your school work.” This is a good description of the services available at the Comprehensive Learning Center, and one of the many ways in which a student can get the most out of his or her education.
The CLC warmly welcomes eight new tutors to the team, with two returning tutors Aylssa Lambert and Heather Sowers. New tutors include: April Brown, Eliani Waworundeng, Glenn Kaaz, Tim Howard, Katelyn Jones, Jed Oesterreich, Rachel Lamm and Sarah Borneman. All of which are highly qualified in a wide range of subjects, including writing, math, science, business, social sciences and humanities. The Center is open Monday through Thursday 8a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday 8a.m. to 5p.m and closed weekends.
