Three Rivers Celebrates Renovated Tutoring Academic Success Center with Ribbon Cutting

CSCU President Mark Ojakian and Three Rivers President Mary Ellen Jukoski cut the ribbon at the official celebration of the College’s newly renovated Tutoring and Academic Success Center on Monday, October 30. The state-of-the-art, world-class center was finished in time for the beginning of the Fall semester, ready to serve double the number of students from the previous year.

President Jukoski thanked the architects and construction team for getting the project done “on time, under budget, and ready to go for the Fall semester.” President Ojakian stressed the importance of TASC saying to the students present, ““This is all about student success. It really is all about you, understanding what your goals are and understanding what the obstacles are that are in your way to achieving those goals. This center is about providing you with what you need to move to the next level.” Student and peer tutor Tina Woodall also expressed that “the Tutoring Center has actually helped me tremendously.”

In addition to students, faculty and staff, also joining in the celebration were: Matt Burbine, Tutoring Center Coordinator; Chris Williams, Christopher Williams Architects, LLC; Project Manager Mark Pozzi, Christopher Williams Architects, LLC; Project Manager Mike Daigle, Diversity Construction Group; Director of Facilities Arnie Delarosa, Three Rivers Community College; CT State Rep. Kevin Ryan; Norwich Alderwoman Stacy Gould; and Norwich Alderman H. Tucker Braddock.

The Three Rivers Community College TASC is the location for all your tutoring needs and more.

TASC is a collaborative team of faculty, staff, and students. We provide a learner-centered environment that facilitates improved performance and persistence for all students. We:

• offer responsive, accessible, and supportive tutoring for all levels of learners
• sponsor many types of academic support including one-on-one, group, and in-class tutoring; presentations; and skill-building workshops
• support faculty by providing additional resources in and out of the classroom
• help students learn how to learn

Where are we located….

The Tutoring and Academic Success Centers (TASC) are located along the C-wing corridor in room C-113. The TASC space is the first glass door on your left once you pass the library on the way to the cafeteria. 

When are we there…

TASC is open during the week. At present, we do not have any weekend hours, so services are not available on Saturday or Sunday. For the fall 2023 semester, we will be open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9am to 8pm, 9am to 6:30pm on Tuesdays, and 9am to 4pm on Fridays.

What do we do…

TASC provides free tutoring services across the curriculum in most subjects:

• Math (all levels)
• Science (physics, biological sciences, chemistry)
• Social sciences and humanities (history, psychology, English, etc.)
• Computer applications (availability varies)
• Writing for all subjects

TASC tutors can help with course content, homework problems, test preparation, and writing papers. We offer both face-to-face appointments and remote appointments via videoconferencing.

Who we are…

Our staff members are varied in terms of credentials and experience, so we can almost always find the right fit for student needs:

• Professional tutors– minimum of a bachelor’s degree in subject area
• Peer tutors– high level of achievement in subject area and first-hand familiarity with many instructors
• Faculty volunteers– TRCC faculty members who give their time to assist students

How does it work…

Schedule appointments in person, online, and by phone. For information on hours, availability, and paper submission status:

• TASC reception desk (860) 215-9082

We will be using a new cloud-based scheduling system in the fall that will allow students to schedule their appointments online. Look for updates at the beginning of the semester.
