Thomas F. and Emma Staton Center for Learning Enrichment

The success of every student is the focus of everything we do.

The Staton Center, located on the first floor of Miriam Jackson Home, provides a wide range of academic support for students, including regular study sessions taught by faculty in the Academic Success Centers, informal review sessions, peer tutoring, one-on-one tutoring in the Staton Center, academic counseling, instruction in study skills and time management skills, and the Grade Advocacy Program (GAP). These services are open to all students.  The Center especially encourages students who are struggling in classes to come for help instead of trying to "do it on your own."  The goal of the Staton Center is for every student to succeed.

Mission

The mission of the Staton Center for Learning Enrichment is to provide guidance and service to Huntingdon College students. It is our goal to give each student the advantage and opportunity to accomplish academic achievement while experiencing the satisfaction of success gained through learning.
