Residents in Science and Engineering (RISE) Program
RISE Tutoring
The RISE Living-Learning Community supports the academic transition of first-year engineering and science students through providing in-hall tutoring. Tutoring services are provided in Geer and Sanders lounges on Sundays thru Thursdays from 6:30 – 10 p.m. RISE tutors are upperclassmen students who have a strong grade point average, commitment to student success, and complete training through the Academic Success Center. Tutors focus on courses known to provide most difficulty to students, such as Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics, but will endeavor to assist students in any courses where they need help.
