The intent of the tutoring program is to supplement and support all of the sound education practices that are imperative for academic success for all student-athletes. The tutors and students work together to develop the independent thinking and learning skills necessary to achieve positive results without compromising the integrity of the educational process. These centers exist at various locations on the ISU campus to be more accessible for the student-athletes who utilize these environments. Student-athletes are strongly encourages to utilize the learning centers as often as necessary to develop the appropriate study and learning skills to become better students. Study groups are also available at these learning centers.
