VECTOR A Trajectory for Student Success
STUDENT SUCCESS SUPPORT
Virtual Environment for Communication: Teaching, Outreach and Research (VECTOR) helps support students and faculty in teaching, learning and research related to all forms of communication using our unique Virtual Communications Lab (VCL). The VCL provides help through free tutoring workshops and online resources with tutors who can work with students at any stage of the communication composition process — from brainstorming a speech topic, to helping design effective visuals for a personal website or portfolio, to providing tips on topics such as grammar, presentation techniques and APA guidelines. VECTOR further supports faculty teaching and research in communication through workshops, a writing group, research collaboration and communication across the curriculum program.
The College of Arts & Sciences is home to the following student success support components:
EQUATES Elevating Quantitative Skills
Everything Quantitative for Teachers and Students (EQUATES) is a new initiative in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology that will help both faculty and students with videos to support teaching and learning, a peer tutoring center, professional development workshops and research. Activities include the creation of a searchable video repository, with unique videos created by the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology faculty, to be used by faculty and students in all departments of the College of Arts & Sciences as well as in other colleges.
