Correction 2/20/25: A previous version of this article stated that the LSC was a place for library research. Library research is strictly found through the Library which is a separate department from the LSC.

Mount Wachusett Community College’s LaChance Library Learning Success Center is a central resource to the campus community, but can be misleading to students of being strictly a tutoring center, which is totally not the case. Located near Trio and Student Support Services on the Gardner campus, and located near Enrollment Services on the Leominster campus, It’s a service that all students have full advantage of. Ranging from assistance to research papers, mathematics classes, print and digital resources, the list is endless. The Learning Success Center is not just for students who are struggling in classes, it is an invitation to the whole MWCC community to have special access to resources to better equip students for success inside and outside of the classroom. read more

Mr. Marshall and Mr. Clayter, are helping students in recovery from substance abuse either enroll or re-enroll at Mount Wachusett Community College.  In doing so, helping to finally fill the void of, for lack of a better word, the “black hole” of programs, not only at MWCC, but in the entire nation, geared at the growing community of individuals in recovery. read more
