The Learning Hub

The SLU Learning Hub is a resource open to any SLU student. Students report a high level of satisfaction with the Learning Hub’s services, and this sentiment is reflected in widespread usage: each year, as many as half of all SLU students use the Learning Hub at least once.

 The Learning Hub offers the following services for students:

 Writing appointments

Writing sessions provide students the chance to talk about their work with a professional writing consultant. Students are welcome to schedule appointments at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to fine-tuning a final draft. The Hub’s writing consultants can also help with managing a heavy reading load. Writing sessions can be in-person or online. Students can sign up on our online schedule.

 Workshops

The Learning Hub’s workshops provide students the chance to access focused instruction on topics ranging from crafting clear sentences to writing a literature review. The Hub facilitates remote and in-person workshops both in SLU classes and in the Learning Hub’s spaces.

 Reference

One-to-one reference sessions allow students to connect with SLU’s librarian, who can help students access SLU’s library databases and find quality sources for research projects. Students can sign up on the Learning Hub’s online schedule.

 Quantitative Reasoning

SLU’s Quantitative Reasoning Fellow is available for one-to-one sessions focused on developing survey tools and using SPSS, among other areas. To sign up, students can select the QR schedule on the login page of page of the Hub’s scheduling platform.

 Digital Portfolios
