Royer Center for Academic Development

 

The Royer Center provides a variety of help services and instruction in strategies for success at McPherson College.  We offer subject tutors in our Tutoring Program, writing tutors in The Write Place, and instruction in study skills and reading skills, through two courses, ID100 College Learning Skills and ID106 College Reading Skills. 

We also welcome walk-ins who are seeking help with a variety of college success skills (time management, note-taking, test-taking, stress management, etc.).  Our campus counselor, Kelli Johnson, is also available for help with these and with personal issues.

The Royer Center also provides Academic Disability Services for students with documented learning disabilities or other disabilities, temporary or permanent, that substantially affect a student’s learning process.  If you need assistance with this, please contact Carole Barr, by email barrc@mcpherson.edu or by phone, ext. 2507 or direct dial 620-242-0507.
