Lissa and Cy: Your New Best Friends

Are you a freshman at The University of Oklahoma struggling with a Pre-cal assignment or English paper? Maybe you just need a reminder of where to go for advisement. Or perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed and need a little pep talk.

Well, Lissa and Cy Wagner Hall is here to help. Since opening in the Fall of 2009, it has become one of the most helpful resources for students.

Before Wagner hall opened its doors, students were advised in Carnegie Hall and tutoring was scattered throughout the campus.

Now, students are tutored in multiple subjects and advised all in the same place. Wagner Hall also offers seminars ranging from "Test-taking Strategies" to "Being a Happy and Healthy Sooner," which are designed to give students some insight on how to have a successful college career.

Sela Taylor, a University Freshman said she attended a seminar or two last semester for her Gateway class.

"At first I wasn't really looking forward to going, but then I realized just how helpful the seminars are. I feel like I learned a lot and can actually apply what they talked to us about."

What Wagner Hall offers:
  • Free Student Seminars to help you make the transition into college.
  • Action Tutoring for those extra tricky classes.
  • Skill Development Websites help you brush up on those basics you haven't practiced since 7th grade.
  • Placement Tests to help you get into the right math courses.
  • OU Lifeline for all questions regarding academics at OU- (405) 325-2574.
  • Career Tests to help you decide what you want to be when you "grow up."
This is only a small preview of what Wagner's website offers. So go check it out!
