Dear Kean Community,

On behalf of the entire Nancy Thompson Learning Commons (NTLC) team, I want to extend a hearty congratulations to everyone for a successful academic year! It's been a pleasure witnessing the dedication and resilience of our students, faculty, and staff throughout the semester.

While we take a well-deserved break, the NTLC remains dedicated to your success. This summer, we'll be bustling with activity to support our Bridge to Success, EOF, and all Kean students.

Here's a glimpse into what you can expect:

  • Continued Support for Bridge to Success and EOF Students: We'll be offering ongoing academic support programs tailored to the specific needs of Bridge to Success and EOF students, ensuring a smooth transition into the fall semester.
  • Enhanced Appointment System: The NTLC is transitioning to Navigate, a user-friendly platform for scheduling all Learning Support appointments, including tutoring, academic coaching, and research consultations. Look out for more details on accessing Navigate soon.
  • AI-Focused Workshops: We're excited to launch a series of workshops exploring the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on various academic disciplines. These workshops will equip you with the knowledge and skills to navigate this rapidly evolving field.

In addition to the above, we'll continue offering our regular roster of workshops on writing, research, study skills, and time management. Stay tuned for our summer schedule, which will be available on the NTLC website shortly.

We're here to help you excel throughout the summer and beyond. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
