Welcome to Student Support Services

Fall 09 Tutor Staff

One of the many services offered by the Student Support Services program is individual and small group tutoring. The Student Support Services tutoring program was recently re-accredited by the College Reading and Learning Association. The SSS tutoring program was accredited at the Master Level, the highest possible rating for any university level tutoring program. Pictured above in a recent training session are SSS tutors Brad Schoenrock, Lana Maki, Michelle Baumgartner, Sarah Waters, SSS Learning Skills Specialist Darlene Buck,  and tutors Ryan Kemper, Liz Becker, and Samantha Donati.
