WIEP-WISP Tutoring Center A free tutoring service for first-year classes, co-hosted by the Women in Engineering Program and the Women in Science Program (WISP), is offered on a walk-in basis. Women who are upper-class science and engineering majors are employed and trained as tutors. In addition to providing homework help, the tutors are seen as mentors and role models. The tutoring service is located in the Earhart Hall conference room and adjoining computer lab for the convenience of the women who live on the engineering and science floors there, but is open to all students regardless of residence.
