LeaRN Programs

Learning Resource Network

The Learning Resource Network (LeaRN) works with students and faculty to promote academic success, engagement, and enrichment of the college experience. Programs within the LeaRN umbrella include student and faculty learning communities; general education (University Studies Program) support and coordination; tutoring and supplemental instruction for high-challenge and communication-focused courses; first-year experience programs; and initiatives supporting underserved students. LeaRN is housed within Academic Affairs and partners heavily with Student Affairs. Feel free to peruse LeaRN’s many networks below, or stop by and visit us in the lower level of Coe Library.
