About Us

Our Mission: To assist Paul Smith's College students in achieving their academic goals by providing a variety of effective academic success options.

Welcome to the Academic Success Center at Paul Smith's College! The College first established a peer tutoring program in 1985. It has grown to become a comprehensive academic support program which opened on the second floor of the Joan Weill Adirondack Library in 2002.

Each year, many Paul Smith's students take advantage of the broad range of services we offer in order to reach their goals for academic success. Key to the effectiveness of our program is a caring and dedicated staff. Our peer tutors are selected on the basis of academic excellence, personal commitment, and positive attitude toward helping others. In addition, we work closely with our faculty to provide the kind of support that will improve learning and classroom performance.

Please explore our Web site to learn more about our academic success options and come visit us upstairs in the Joan Weill Adirondack Library. We look forward to meeting you.
