The Resource and Tutoring Center provides students with various learning tools, such as anatomical models, histology slides, microscopes, books, computers, flashcards, and other study aids. We also have private study rooms available for student use. The tutoring staff is here to help students reinforce and clarify material learned in class, as well as answer any related questions to the course. All Life Science students are welcome to use the Resource and Tutoring Center during open hours - no appointments necessary.
