Our Program
The Chemistry Learning Center offers a supportive learning environment where students work with instructors in small groups. Our program is partially funded to work with students who are enrolled programs such as the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE), Center for Educational Opportunity (CeO), PEOPLE, and Posse programs. We also try to welcome first generation students who are low income, underrepresented students of color, Chancellor Scholars, Powers Knapp Scholars, MJL Scholars, students returning after a long absence from college, students-at-risk of failing the course, students re-taking the course after earning a D or F, students on academic probation, new transfer students, veterans just returning after full-time military service, and McBurney Center students. Though it is helpful to apply early, our program does not function on a first-come first-serve basis. In addition to the above guidelines, we also consider each student on a case-by-case basis taking into account available program space.
Building Community
Recent events that highlight the systemic racism and injustice many of our students of color experience on a daily basis caused great frustration and heartache for our staff. We love and value the students we work with and recognize the anger felt by many. We will continue to work to create a space where all students feel welcomed, valued, and respected. We also recognize the shared responsibility we have to create substantive change by doing our part to reject hate and end injustice.
