The Center for Learning Excellence, located on the first floor of Middle East on Front Quad, is comprised of the Writing Center and the Quantitative Reasoning Center.

The Writing Center's primary goal is to help students of all ability levels gain a sense of confidence and control over their writing, by providing feedback at all stages of the writing process. A staff of trained, conscientious student tutors representing a variety of academic disciplines offers friendly support in a comfortable environment. Tutors collaborate with students on a wide range of writing issues, from developing a thesis statement for a historical analysis paper, to integrating source material and avoiding plagiarism on a senior biology thesis, to revising creative writing projects.

The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Center was established in 2002. Its primary focus is to provide assistance to students in achieving Basic Quantitative Reasoning (q) proficiency. Experienced student tutors are available to answer questions regarding Math 100: Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning and the Quantitative Reasoning Study Packet. When requested by the professor, student tutors also assist students with their Applied Quantitative Reasoning (Q) projects. The QR Center staff will identify and recommend resources to enhance and reinforce skills necessary for each student to achieve success in addressing quantitative issues.
