To support the academic success of all Maria College students, the Frank E. O’Brien Jr. Student Success Center in Mercy Hall provides students across programs with support and guidance from academic success coaches possessing graduate-level educations and professional expertise in their subject areas.
Both the Writing and Communication Center and the Mary Beth O’Brien Tutoring Center offer supportive, collaborative environments for all students to grow in their knowledge and skills. Academic success coaches in the Writing Center provide guidance in written and spoken English and feedback for every stage of the writing process, from planning to drafting to final revisions, while success coaches in the Tutoring Center assist students with the development of academic skills in mathematics, life sciences, and other disciplines.
Students can engage in one-on-one, group, or asynchronous success coaching sessions as well as attend seminars and other programming to enhance their knowledge, critical thinking, and career readiness. Appointments are made using Penji. Students can access Penji online or download the app for iOS and Android. For a brief tutorial on using Penji, please refer to this video.
