Welcome to the SLC!
The Science Learning Center (SLC) is sponsored by the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) to support teaching and learning in the natural sciences. The SLC houses computer labs, meeting alcoves, study space and a loan desk for reserve and study materials.
The SLC is a vibrant center where study groups meet, GSIs hold office hours, students complete computer-based labs, and a great deal of studying and learning happens. Come and visit us to find out why so many students become a part of our "community of learners."
