- Organizing study groups.
- Tracking of student visits and/or tutoring.
- Classroom presentations of our services.
- Space to meet with your students.
- Proctoring exams/quizzes according to your specific instructions.

The faculty of MacMurray College is pivotal in helping to make the Center for Learning Excellence a great support service for our students. Here are some ways that you can help:
- Be sure your students are aware of the services and location of the Center for Learning Excellence.
