Blackburn’s Academic Support Services are largely based in the Lumpkin Student Success Center. Support services provide academic assistance to students of all majors and class standings. Students may walk in for a one-on-one consultation with the Student Success Center Director Rachel Stull, or any of the front desk attendants. The schedule for tutor sessions is also available at the front desk.
