The Hearn Center, which originally opened in 1984, has been expanded several times and now includes over 5,000 square feet of open and self-contained work areas. The Center support services include tutoring, academic advising, academic coaching, and study hall.
Study and tutoring rooms vary in size and offer secluded environments in which to work. The tutorial programs offers assistance in subjects and classes ranging from biology to advance engineering courses and are scheduled daily throughout the Center. The extent of this support is clearly reflected in the Spring of 2012 tutoring statistics whereby:
69 total courses tutored
150+ student-athletes tutored
65 tutors employed
200+ tutoring sessions per week
3000+ tutoring sessions per semester
The addition of the Technology Center in the Fall of 2007 added valuable space to the daily operations of student-athlete support services. The 5,000 square foot learning area is located on the ground floor of the Edge Building and features:
State of the art computer lab with 48 computer work stations
11 4-person study carrels, plus 14 individual study carrels
Study lounge with 2 group reading areas
Plasma TV to display upcoming events and Yellow Jacket accolades/highlights
