Learning Center Advisory Board
Welcome to the Learning Center Advisory Board (LCAB)
The Learning Center actively seeks input from students, staff, and faculty members when developing and evaluating materials and services. After each workshop and tutoring session, students are encouraged to formally evaluate our services through a confidential, online or paper-based survey. Collaboration with instructors and faculty recommendations are often conducted informally. The Learning Center Advisory Board allows a more formal procedure for including faculty, students, and staff in planning the activites and services of the Learning Center. The institution of the Learning Center Advisory Board provides evidence of the Learning Center's commitment to continual improvement.
Rationale for the Development of an LRC Advisory Board
This Advisory Board is necessary for a number of reasons:

- To ensure that the Learning Center is providing the highest quality and sufficient quantity and variety of materials and services
- To provide a venue for departments across the curriculum to recommend interventions based on their SLO analysis and student pass and retention rates
- To provide guidance for revising and developing Learning Center resource allocations and policies
This Advisory Board also provides
- Recommendations for best practices
- Evaluation of student submissions to Learning Center poster and essay contests
