Shop fixes academic breakdowns
Stall writer
By Lori Poisson
When a our break's over, it's taken to a mechanical's shop. When a student's academic life breaks down, there's a shop to fix that too.
In fact, this shop has special programs to prevent student's enginles from stopping in the first place.
The shop in the Student Assistance Center, 121 Strong Hall. Hundreds of students filler through the doors of the building at an attend the program it sponsors.
"We listen to the things that break down or fall apart for people," Lorenza Zimmler, director of the center, said. "We give people access to the things that students one-to-one."

are assessed when trying to determine which programs to present.
Zimmer said the center gave more programs during the fall semester because Jainstein often had problems adjusting to university life.
"We feel that it is important that students start out well," she said.
The programs they present range in variety from "Denying with That Ussurey Feeling," to "Preparing for Exams"; from "SAVYV: Practical Know How," to "Research Paper Writing."

But juggling schedules sometimes creates problems for the center's staff.
The center hires four full-time employees plus one half-time graduate student and another graduate student who gets paid by the hour.
"Sometimes one person will present three programs in a week," Zimmer said.
Student response to the programs varies, she said. They have had as many as 230 people show up for a program, or as few as three.
And contrary to popular thought, she said, not all students who attend the programs are doing poorly in their classes.

"Some are grad students and some are taking honors classes," she said.
Zimmer said it was a challenge to keep the students' attention during the programs.
"They've already sat through five or six hours of lecture that day," she
Zimmer said the "Reading for Comprehension and Speed" program would be offered this summer, although she wasn't sure what other programs would be available.
said, "It's asking a lot to have them come listen to another one or two hours of lecture."
The center does more than offer programs. Zimmer said. Its largest service is one-on-one counseling with students who come into the office looking for help.
looking for help.
According to a brochure published by the center, its goal is to keep students in school. The center concentrates on the individual needs and interests of the students.
"We do lots and lots of teaching," Zimmer said.
If they don't have the answers, they will direct the students to the appropriate office, she said.
