About us

The Science Learning Resource Center (SLRC) was established by a grant from the National Science Foundation in 1978. SLRC provides review sessions in direct support of TWU classes. Our staff may clarify the assignments made with the instructors and confer as needed with instructors to assure that our assistance is consistent with instruction. We strive to teach every TWU student that comes to our center how to be successful in their courses.
