Academic and Student Support
Academic Support Center
At the Academic Support Center, we understand the rigors and challenges of pursuing a science degree. The Academic Support Center was created to help scholars navigate roadblocks and barriers to achieving success.
The Academic Support Center provides services to equip PMPDPP scholars with the skills and tools to achieve academic excellence. Our peer tutor model was curated to help our scholars master course material, think critically, share wisdom on test-taking strategies, and cultivate a strong sense of community. In this welcoming environment, scholars can get the academic support they need to obtain their degrees.
Tutoring sessions are organized in one-to-one or small group sessions, either by scheduled appointments or drop-in.
Services Offered:
- Tutoring
- Structured Study
- Supplemental Instruction
- Finals Week Preparation (Books and Brunch)
- MCAT Examination Preparation (or other professional entrance exam preparation)
Location/ Hours of Operation: The Academic Support Center is located on the upper level of Arts & Sciences Hall. We are open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Advising
The Pre-Medical/ Pre-Dental Plus Program Advising Services provides specialized one-on-one attention to scholars on their journey to graduation and medical/professional school. Each scholar will craft an Action Plan alongside a PMPDPP professional staff member to aid in ensuring academic success. Through advising, we aim to help our scholars achieve their personal, professional, and educational goals.
Our Advising "White C.O.A.T" Pledge:
Communication: Our team is available to help students through open communication and dialogue to assist in any way to ensure student success.
Opportunity: Our team provides scholars with information regarding shadowing opportunities, medical summer program opportunities, and a partnership opportunity with Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for qualified Educational Opportunity Fund scholars.
Attention: Each scholar receives one-on-one attention and support to help them achieve their goals. Our team continually motivates, inspires, and empowers our scholars throughout their journeys.
Thrive: We want all our PMPDPP scholars to thrive! Through programming, workshops, field trips, and conferences geared toward students pursuing health careers, we can help our scholars thrive!
