Hello. I am the Tutoring Center Coordinator, as well as a tutor. I teach courses in literature, writing, design, and environmental humanities. I have many years experience working as a writing tutor and ESL tutor, and am happy to work with students in need of assistance. While I am happy to work with all students, my schedule will prioritize graduate students and English second Language Speakers at this time. If you are a student in need of assistance, my hours are as follows: Mondays from 4-7pm, Tuesday from 4-6pm and Thursday from 9-11am by appointment only. If these hours do not work with yours, please still inquire and the Learning Commons staff will do everything they can to help you.

Hello! I am the information services librarian for GWC, Kathy Clark. While my office is located on the Aurora Campus I travel to GWC to provide library instruction to classes. I will also be on the GWC campus on select Tuesdays throughout the semester. You have access to thousands of eBooks and hundreds of thousands of electronic journal articles. Any librarian would be happy to help you locate these resources in our subscription databases. Chat with any of us by clicking the green bubble on the Phillips Library homepage.
