A Way With Words & Numbers

History

 

In 1996, the MU Career Center took advantage of federal Work Study funds released to support the America Reads initiative, and developed A Way With Words. The goal was to develop a tutoring program that would not only serve the Columbia community, but would at the same time offer an opportunity for career exploration for undergraduate and graduate students.

In 2002, additional Work Study funds made it possible to begin the A Way With Numbers program, similar to A Way With Words but with a focus on math instead of reading.

Goals of the A Way With Words and A Way With Numbers Programs

  • To help children and adults in the Columbia area to improve their reading and math skills.
  • To provide an avenue for college students to become involved in service and to engage in career exploration.
  • To make this a positive experience for everyone involved!
