`Public Relations/Main Office

The Public Relations/Main Office for the Academic Support Center is located in the lowest level of McCutchan Hall in Room 7. The duties of the staff are twofold. As managers, they provide managerial oversight of the operations and are responsible for the accuracy of our record keeping for both the clients who utilize our services and the learning assistants who work here. However, as public relations staff, they perform a wide range of tasks, including communicating with clients and faculty, hosting the tours, speaking at events, fielding questions, creating and distributing the flyers, and updating our webpage, to name a few.

The staff can be reached by e-mail at tutorctr@uww.edu or by phone at 262-472-1230 during its hours of operation:
