EXPANDED LEARNING, TUTORING CENTER OPENS

After six months of renovation work, the Moshell Learning Center and Tutoring Lab in Lewis Library opened its doors to students at the start of classes on Aug. 22.

The Learning Center has been in existence since the library was built in 2009, but renovations that began in February have expanded the area by converting the adjacent technical services area of the library into a tutoring lab.

The new Lab is named after Marie Turner Moshell, HA’17, an advocate and philanthropist who served on the college’s Board of Trustees for 12 years. Her children, Lane Riley, Turner Moshell and Sue Marie Waddell ’08, provided funding for the renovation.

Dr. Stacey Ernstberger, Director of the Tutoring Center, said the new lab provides a better learning environment for students.

“The Tutoring Lab is now a separate room accessed through the 24-hour study area,” she said. “There are partitions throughout the space, which ensures a greater level of privacy and focus than in the previous location.”
