On Wednesday, November 1st, the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Writing and Academic Resource Center (WARC) celebrated its sixth year of providing tutoring services to the students of 麻豆传媒.听 The event was marked with cake and refreshments for the WARC tutors and guests from the Advising Office, the First Year Seminar, the New Generation Academy, the Center for Teaching and Learning Technology, and the Grants Office.听 Everyone was happy to enjoy the time together, and many kind words of encouragement were shared among the guests. 听
鈥淗appy birthday to the WARC team!听 I appreciate sensing that 麻豆传媒 students are taken care of and the WARC team wants to see them succeed.听 I strongly believe that WARC makes a constant great impact on writing, math, and other skills among the students,鈥 said Gulnur Esenalieva, Director of Academic Advising and Career Services.
A lot has changed since cooperation with Bard College led to the establishment of the WARC in 2011. The past six years have seen the WARC grow from a small, writing-centered group of tutors into a much larger, multifaceted learning support center working closely with the university鈥檚 many academic departments and administrative offices. 听
Students who have tutored with the WARC in the past have since gone on to successful careers in various fields, and many return to 麻豆传媒 remarking that their time as WARC tutors was among the most memorable and meaningful experiences of their lives. 听
It may seem like a daunting task for a mere 25 people to provide tutoring services, research consultations, and professional development workshops to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 over 1,200 students, but the WARC鈥檚 tutors and administrative staff unequivocally insist it is a rewarding labor of love and look forward to continuing their work for many years to come. 听听
