- Marie Callahan Reading Center
Naomi Erdmann, Director
The Marie Callahan Reading Center, located in the Lourdes Hall, is the setting in which elementary and secondary students as well as adults from the community receive support in learning to read and write during each college term.
Graduate students who hold one or more certifications complete the requirements for their master's degree and additional certification as a literacy specialist. They assess the individual with whom they work to determine strengths as well as needs, design an instructional program to overcome or compensate for those needs, and provide one-to-one instruction. During selected terms, the faculty member and graduate students may work at one of the area's schools rather than on campus.
