LSC-North Harris SEA Center

MATH 0308, ENGL 1301 and the SEA Center

What is this place?
In the Lone Star College System, North Harris is the first location to dedicate a specific space to help students succeed in MATH 0308 and ENGL 1301. Because the goal is to help students navigate the sometimes stormy seas of college, the room is called the SEA Center (Success Encourages Achievement).

What happens here?
During operating hours, our Resource Coordinator interviews first-time student visitors and identifies whatever they need to deal with-- financial aid, time management, personal counseling, study skills, career search, academic advising, or math tutoring-and sets them up with a file to be used on all return visits. All college services are free, but the most popular activity is one-on-one tutoring which identifies specific skills for the student to build upon.

Why would I come here?
You may be called or e-mailed by SEA Center personnel because your instructor has filed an Intervention Referral form triggered by one or more areas of concern (missed assignments, low test scores, absences, etc.). In these messages, you would be encouraged to visit SEA, where learning issues can be identified and worked through. But you may also learn about the SEA Center from your instructor or Success Coach. Your coach may actually visit your class and ask for volunteers ("Anyone need some help in this course?") and then "check in" with you, urges you to visit the SEA for help whenever necessary, and asks you to report your progress.

Who's in charge?
Michael McFarland is director of both the SEA Center and the Coach program. Each week he communicates with coaches and SEA staff, updating them on new developments. Sukhlal Ramharack is the Math SEA Center Coordinator, and Melissa Dennis is the English SEA Center Coordinator. Ronda Newton is the SEA Resource Coordinator, who helps all SEA students connect with valuable college services.
