The original University Learning Center was developed under the
guidance of Dr. Ina Katz with the assistance of Alice Maxwell and
Fran Zareh-Smith in 1984 and was known as the Learning Assistance
Resource Center (LARC). This team created adjunct classes, which
involved learning assistants attending particular sections of
classes and facilitating study groups with students attending these
classes.
As the LARC grew, additional components were added, such as classes
preparing students for the Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP)
and the Entry Level Mathematics Examination (ELM), and individual
tutoring for students who were nonnative speakers.
In 1986, a computer lab was added to the LARC, which included 10
very old computers and eight new Macintoshes with a laser printer
donated to the university by Apple Computer. A grant funded by the
Associated Students provided the money for a network server. Earl
Smith, a university undergraduate, designed the lab and coordinated
its use until 1989.
As a cost-cutting measure, university administrators abolished the
LARC during the budget reductions of 1992. However, a smaller
version complete with computer lab known as the Learning Axis
continued to exist, funded by the Educational Opportunity Program.
In 1998, Fran Zareh-Smith with the support of Dr. Robert Palmer,
Vice President of Student Affairs, and Dr. Jerry Moore, Director of
Student Academic Services, wrote a successful proposal to restore
funding for a larger facility, which is now known as the University
Learning Center (ULC).
