Tutor Spotlight
Le Stella Doan is a whilrwind of energy. She joined us this academic year as part of the national study abroad program. Although she misses her family and friends in Los Angeles, where she attends Cal State, she has met a lot of nice people in Plattsburgh and gained the friendship of many of her peers and the respect of many of her professors.
Talking with Le always teaches us something new. Her fresh perspective on our campus and our services encourages us to be thankful for what have and evaluate how we can do it better. Learning is often mutual. Le tutors ACC201. Her first tutoring session was "horrible" because she had not taken an accounting course in two years. By working in the Learning Center for two semesters, she has gained a deeper understanding of accounting. After she graduates in December, she is considering enrolling in an accounting certification program through her local community college.
Perhaps one day she will finally get to visit Seoul, South Korea, her original desitnation when she began the study abroad search. But the professional and student staff at the Claude J. Clark Learning Center are glad she came to SUNY Plattsburgh on a whim.
Desk Attendant Spotlight
Dania Martinez, a graduating senior in Antropology, has worked in the Learning Center since Fall 2007. Dania welcomes everyone who enters the Learning Center with a reassuring smile and always provides students with the knowledge they need to access our services.
As a transfer student who started at Marymount College of Fordham and served in the Army, Dania approaches her academic career seriously. She chose SUNY Plattsburgh because the Admissions staff was professional and helpful. She chose her major because of Introduction to Human Evolution
and its wonderful professor, Dr. Crane-Kramer. She likes working in the Learning Center because the night shift gives her ample, quiet study time. But, academics are not her only passion. Dania is inovled in several clubs and organizations on campus and often encourages tutors, tutees, and LC staff to become more connected with the SUNY Plattsburgh community.
If she isn't working or studying or attending one of the many functions she is involved in, she may be secretly watching the corny 80s movies she loves best, like Big Trouble in Little China
and The Golden Child
. Soon, she hopes to be busy making a bigger difference with the International Rescue Committee, a non-profit organization that helps refugees rebuild their lives.
