The Academic Resource Center (ARC) supports all students as they strive to reach the highest standards of academic excellence and ultimately their degrees at DePauw University.
Highlights

Maria Santillan '21
DSG Vice President of Student Life (among many other things!), junior Maria Santillan has been working at the S-center since her freshman year. This picture was taken earlier in the semester in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she and classmates gave a presentation at the Seventh National Symposium for Spanish as a Heritage Language.
Sam Heichelbech '21
A junior from Columbus, Indiana, Sam is studying in Oxford while continuing to work as a W tutor. The photo was taken at the Paphos Archeological Park in Paphos, Cyprus. The pillars, he explains, "were once part of an ancient Roman villa, thought to be the home of the Roman governor of the Mediterranean island."

ARC SERVICES:
We are dedicated to providing a place for all students to explore academic potential and personal growth. The ARC is a collaborative environment, including the Speaking and Listening Center, the Writing Center and the Quantitative Reasoning Center. Students may also meet with Academic Peer Advisors who offer general academic support at the ARC. Together, we offer a wide range of services, including individual and group assistance, learning skills consultations, workshops, and presentation preparation.
UPDATES FOR SPRING 2020:
W Tutors, Q Tutors, S Consultants, and Peer Advisors have moved online and are ready to meet (virtually) or email with you. Instructions on how to sign up for an online tutoring session can be found on each Center's main webpage. Links to each Center are on the upper left side of this page.
Send an image of yourself at work this spring, outside or inside the house. We'll find a place to post it on the ARC website. Please send your photo to mmcinnes@depauw.edu. Include where you are and what you're up to. Thanks.
