Message from the Director

“Welcome to Student Academic Services at MSU Denver!

At Student Academic Services, we are committed to supporting you on your academic journey. Through our Tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, and Teaching Assistant programs, we are here to help you navigate your coursework, build confidence in your learning, and stay on track toward graduation.

I believe that every student belongs in higher education and deserves access to support that meets them where they are. My leadership philosophy is grounded in care, collaboration, and equity. I lead with the belief that academic support is not a sign of struggle, but a powerful tool for growth, persistence, and success. Asking for help is a strength, and our programs are designed to create welcoming spaces where learning feels supported, inclusive, and empowering.

Our  programs and services are built around peer-to-peer learning and strong partnerships with faculty, ensuring that support is timely, relevant, and connected to what you are experiencing in the classroom. Whether you are seeking help with a specific course, looking to strengthen your study strategies, or exploring opportunities to support others as a peer leader, Student Academic Services is here for you.

We are honored to be part of your academic journey and are committed to supporting your success every step of the way.”
