Stephanie L. Lawhorne Director, Academic Support Center (ASC) |
| "My vision for the ATP is that the organization will provide a venue for its members to collaborate, network, and develop as professionals so that we improve the quality of academic support that our institutions provide." | My master’s degree is in English, and I became Director of the Academic Support Center at Morrisville State College in January 2003. Before that, I was a full-time professor who taught composition and literature classes for five years (and part-time for a number of years before that). I had also worked as a professional tutor in a learning center for students with disabilities and in a Student Support Services program. I am responsible for our peer-tutoring program, which is certified at Levels 1 and 2 by the CRLA. I hire, train, and supervise a cohort of 50 or so tutors each year in addition to serving as the supervisor of the three other professional staff in our center (Math Specialist, Writing Specialist, and Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities). Beginning this semester, I am also serving as the supervisor of the SI Leaders in a grant-funded Supplemental Instruction pilot program. When I have time, I like to work with students who come to our center for help with their academic and professional writing. |
