Building Skills for Today & Tomorrow
The Wishart Academic Success Center serves students across the MDCA community, providing resources that complement classroom instruction and respond to individual academic needs.
The goal extends beyond helping a student with a particular assignment or test. ASC staff help students develop strategies they can continue to use throughout their education, including effective study habits, time management, organization, goal setting, and approaches to learning.
Academic Success Center staff connect students with academic coaches, success coaches, and peer-learning opportunities that provide encouragement, accountability, and new ways to approach learning.
