THE LEARNING COMMONS
Research on student success tells us that learners benefit from nurturing, engaged conversation, supported risk taking, collaborative learning spaces, and access to current technologies.
The Mandia Family Learning Commons provides these in the form of holistic tutoring, an open computer lab, research assistance, and a team of peers and professionals dedicated to student-centered learning.
Our services are free and available to all enrolled students.
