Nestled in the third floor of the newly-remodeled core building (center of the college complex) is the The CORE: Center for Academic Support, a comfortable, relaxing place where students can find collaboration and community. The CORE replaces the Reading and Writing/Tutoring Center and is staffed by the same friendly people.

Spring 2010 Hours

Monday -- Thursday 8:00 am -- 8:00pm.

Friday 8:00 am -- 3:00pm.

Professors working at The CORE offer students one-on-one assistance with reading and writing assignments, in person and online. Appointments are recommended, but drop-in consultations are accepted on a space-available basis.

Peer tutors will also be available to help students. Subjects tutored include, but are not limited to, Art & Art History, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, EETEC, ESL, Music Theory, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Recording Arts, and Spanish. Tutoring is conducted on a drop-in basis and does not require an appointment. Be sure to check the schedule in the center for hours and subject availability.

The CORE will continue to provide the variety of free workshops formerly offered by the Reading and Writing Center. Some of the most popular workshops focus on scholarship and personal statement essays, and how to combat test-taking anxiety with strategies for taking college-level tests.

The purpose of the Reading and Writing Center is to support you, LMC students, with reading and writing needs in all classes. Perhaps you just need help reading and understanding an assignment. Maybe you need someone to listen to your ideas before you begin writing. Or are you confused about organization, the structure of your essay?
