Power. 101 is a multifaceted program of structured academic and student support services designed to guide new students in building the skills to balance their coursework with enrichment activities. Science Enrichment Center The Science Enrichment Center is a "student-centered environment" that empowers students with diverse needs to achieve high levels of intellectual and personal growth and enables professors to maintain high academic standards. Within this environment, SEC staff and faculty challenge students to develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sciences. Towards this endeavor, the Center provides human and material resources, cooperative learning, coaching and mentoring to facilitate student learning. Office of Student Transitions The Office of Student Transitions is designed to support students transitioning into and completing the middle years of college. Students need to develop a sense of purpose and achieve maximum value of the educational experience. By incorporating a mixture of academic support and enrichment programs/activities, students learn to focus on priorities and goals, while they undergo personal development during this time of transition. These programs are designed to highlight existing services and tools available at WPU, and allow students to forge meaningful relationships with faculty, administrators, and peers. Transfer Student Experience Transfer Student Experience offers guidance, support and advocacy to new and currently enrolled transfer students, as well as readmitted students at William Paterson University. We recognize that transfers and readmits have different needs than first-year students, and we are here to help transfer students acclimate, readmitted students re-acclimate and seamlessly transition to our WPU community. TSE provides comprehensive resources, success tips, and information to transfer and readmitted students. The office staff works collaboratively with various University departments in our students’ transitional process. Writing Center The William Paterson University Writing Center provides one-on-one tutoring for anyone in the university community working on any kind of writing in any stage of development. Tutorial sessions typically take thirty minutes to an hour. We work with you on writing issues such as outlining, thesis clarification, organization, style, transitions, citing, and grammar, and we help you learn how to edit and proofread your own writing. Our aim is not just to produce a better piece of writing; it’s to produce a better writer.
