Peer Mentors

The MWSU Peer Mentors provide students with academic support by means of programing and providing up to date information regarding academic opportunities on campus.

The peer mentors hold office hours in the Large Conference Room in Scanlon Hall Sunday through Thursday from 8-11pm to provide students with academic assistance. They also reside in Scanlon Hall so they can be found outside of their office hours if you need assistance.

Below are some of the Peer Mentors favorite resources that you may find helpful!

The Center for Academic Support provides one-on-one and small group tutoring for most courses on campus. Located on the northeast corner of the library building, the Center consists of group study spaces and a large open area for students to receive tutoring or work independently. The CAS offers free tutoring in math, writing, and specific courses. In addition to the services, students have access to Supplemental Instruction (SI) and workshops sponsored by the Center. Flashcards and handouts are also available. www.missouriwestern.edu/cas/
