?? Membership Spotlight Friday: Fayetteville Technical Community College’s Student Learning Center ?? Today, we’re spotlighting an incredible program at Fayetteville Technical Community College’s Student Learning Center in Fayetteville, NC! Under the leadership of Brenda Harris, the center is transforming the way tutoring is done by reaching students across campus and building a community of support and recognition among staff and students alike. ?? This year marked the launch of Tutor Appreciation Week at the center, where tutors celebrated each other’s hard work with thoughtful gestures—from pizza for the whole team to small gift exchanges. The program also introduced a “Facilitator/Instructor/Tutor Spotlight,” recognizing outstanding staff with gift cards, ensuring that everyone’s efforts are honored by year’s end! ????? But the innovation doesn’t stop there! Brenda and co-director Ms. Kareka Chavis recently presented at the North Carolina Tutoring & Learning Association, sharing how their program takes tutoring beyond physical walls with faculty-led workshops, “exam jams,” pop-up tutoring events, and more. These initiatives bring support directly to students, creating a campus-wide network for academic success! ?????? We’re thrilled to celebrate the Fayetteville Technical Community College Student Learning Center for fostering a collaborative and innovative learning environment that makes a real difference in students’ lives. Thank you for raising the bar for academic support! #NTAMemberSpotlight #NationalTutoringAssociation
