Elizabeth Waters' Academic Resources
Look for publicity about all the events below!
“The Wisconsin Idea - The boundaries of the university should be the boundaries of the state, and that research conducted at the University of Wisconsin should be applied to improve quality of life for all citizens of the state.”
Academics success for all students is one of four central pillars of UW Housing. Here are some of our programs which encourage academic achievement:
- Study Group Kickoffs – Ongoing study groups organized by students in Liz to help each other in their classes. Incentives are provided to groups who meet on an ongoing basis.
- A-Team – Academic Goal Setting slips are distributed to residents. Residents then discuss goals with their house fellows when they complete the slips. Goal-setting students are then entered into a drawing for two prizes each month valued just under $50.
- Technology Learning Center – (TLC) A state of the art computer lab is available in Elizabeth Waters with a full-technology suite to allow residents to get away from distractions in their rooms and provide quiet study space.
- Academic Infusion – DOIT (Information Technology), Campus Libraries, Writing Center, Greater University Tutoring Service will host sessions in UW Housing to acclimate new students to campus.
- Writing Center Tutor and Math Tutors in Elizabeth Waters’ Cafeteria
- Favorite Instructors Program – students nominate their favorite instructors in each dorm.
