SAAB Student Grants and Tutors
The Student Academic Affairs Board (SAAB) is responsible for formulating student policy on academic issues on campus, granting funds for student-initiated research, answering student requests to bring noted scholars from around the U.S. and abroad to Lewis & Clark, sending students to conferences to present academic work and papers, and coordinating a student tutoring program which is available to all students.
SAAB also offers a free tutoring program for students. SAAB economics tutors are selected by the faculty at the beginning of each new academic year.
SQRC
The Symbolic and Quantitative Resource Center (SQRC) is a drop-in peer tutoring center, located in J.R. Howard Hall in room 134. It isn’t one-on-one tutoring; it functions a little more like a homework help center.
