These hours were selected because they fill the gap left by math department tutors and teaching assistants, who are available to help students during normal business hours. As many students need homework help before class days, they can turn to the Math Success Program during evening.
Math Success was initially housed in the Easton Recreation Room as a phone service. Later it was decided that a more interactive, one-on-one coaching experience was necessary. Thus, the first tutoring site was set up in Easton Hall in 1998. As the program expanded and became more popular, a new site was opened in the Cambridge Community Center in September 1999 and an additional center was opened in October 1999 on South Campus in Somerset Hall. Lastly, with support from the Office of Campus Program, a fourth site was opened at the Stamp Student Union in 2001. Unfortunately, in 2002, severe budget cuts forced the closure of two sites, Cambridge and Somerset Halls. Easton Hall and the Stamp Student Union remain open and continue to provide full tutoring services to students.
