The Center for Disability Resources (CDR) is able to provide these expanded academic supports partially through the generosity of donors to the Brian McLane Legacy and Blesh Funds.

CDR Academic Support staff include:
Our Coordinator oversees and supports the learning strategists, tutors, and OnTrack at SU program. The Coordinator also meets with students to assist with their various academic needs.
Learning Strategists have professional backgrounds in multiple disciplines and can provide assistance with planning, study and note-taking strategies, connecting to campus resources, organizational/time management skills, and some content tutoring (varies by subject).
Content Tutors are professional tutors with experience in specific subject areas or graduate students with professional teaching and/or other academic experiences between undergraduate and graduate studies.
*CDR Academic Support is a service and not an accommodation. While we do our best to meet our student’s needs, these resources are not unlimited and are based on tutor availability and funding resources. A referral can be made by the student’s assigned Access Coordinator.
