Students support each other day in and day out at Episcopal. Often, this happens naturally and organically and in no “official” capacity. But, there is a space on campus dedicated to making these connections happen intentionally and daily, and the Academic Resource Center’s (ARC) Semester 1 stats paint an encouraging picture regarding student support for one another!

Fifty two Fellows hosted over 300 appointments in the fall with forty students who came to the ARC on a weekly basis or more. The Fellows are ready for another busy semester, especially supporting 9th graders who will be writing their History and English research paper soon!

Upper and Middle School students can always make an appointment to visit the ARC and study with a Fellow, receive help on a specific skill or consult about a paper. This spring, the group of academic leaders will be revealing an updated logo to match their new name, and Fellows look forward to another semester serving their community!
