Resources for Students
Kollett Center Hours
The Kollett Center, located adjacent to the Science Center, will be open for student use Sunday through Thursday, 12:30-11:00 p.m., and Friday, 12:30-4:30 p.m.
Peer Tutoring Programs
Peer tutoring offers group learning and individual sessions with trained student tutors. Tutors work collaboratively with students at all levels of acheivement to improve general learning skills and to provide support in specific courses. Appointments are not necessary; students may simply go the Kollett Center to work with tutors during schedule hours.
Through its affiliations with the Writing at Wheaton program and the Quantitative Analysis Program, the Kollett Center also coordinates peer and professional support in writing across the curriculum and in calculus and statistics. More information about these resources, including schedules and locations for the professional learning associates in each area, is provided through the links indicated here and in the left menu.
Technology Workshops and Programs
Teaching and learning at Wheaton increasingly utilize information technology in a variety of ways. Most of these applications (from Microsoft Word to SPSS and Minitab) require that students know how to use the software tools that make them work.
The student staff of Library and Information Services offers a series of evening workshops each semester on the use of these tools. For more information and the current semester's schedule go to Technology Workshops and Programs at the Academic Computing website.

The Registrar provides students working on senior theses with copies of Honors Thesis Preparation Instructions, also available online.
Writing support for students working on Honors Theses is available from the Writing Associates in the Center, Connie Campana (ext. 5805), and David Williams (3752).
