Center for Academic and Career Success
Our Mission:
To assist Paul Smith’s College students in achieving their academic goals by providing a variety of effective academic support options.
Paul Smith’s first established a peer tutoring program in 1985. Since then, we’ve grown to become a comprehensive academic support program. 每年, many Paul Smith’s students take advantage of the broad range of services we offer in order to reach their goals for academic success. Our caring and dedicated staff work closely with our faculty to provide the kind of support that will improve learning and classroom performance. Please stop by our home on the second floor of the Joan Weill Adirondack 图书馆. We look forward to meeting you!
