Cascade Learning Resource Center
The Cascade Learning Resource Center is located at 1001 N. Broadway, next to the Washington State University Everett building.
The Center for Transformative Teaching and eLearning
The Center for Transformative Teaching and eLearning empowers faculty professional growth through onboarding for new faculty, workshops about new technologies and teaching techniques, certification for different modes of instruction, and individual consultations, all with an emphasis on strategies to increase student success and equitable outcomes. We offer training and support for instructional practice and education technology, especially our Learning Management System (Canvas), with an emphasis on assessment, assignment design, anti-racist teaching practices, alternative grading strategies, and open educational practices. We partner with students on projects related to teaching and organizational development.
The eLearning Department supports EvCC’s in-person, online (asynchronous and synchronous), hybrid, and optional face-to-face or online classes as well as the college’s learning management system (Canvas), and other educational technologies.
Online courses replace all face-to-face time with online instruction. All or nearly all course activities and interactions between students and instructors are performed online (except for some classes requiring on-campus or proctored exams).
Hybrid courses replace a portion of face-to-face time with online instruction. The remaining portion of the course takes place on campus.
Optional F2F or OL (also called “flex” or “hyflex”) courses provide students with the option of attending sessions in-person (face-to-face) in the classroom, participating online, or doing both.
Students should have strong organizational, reading, and writing skills to do well in online, hybrid, and web-enhanced courses, as well as reliable access to the internet.

Russell Day Gallery
Russell Day, a faculty member from 1948 to 1974, established the visual arts program at the college and was dedicated to bringing works of varied artists, media, and movements to the students of Everett Community College. In recognition of this influence, the gallery was re-named for him in 2008.
The gallery has a specific interest in displaying the work of artists from underrepresented groups, alumni of EvCC, and providing exhibits that are not generally accessible to the public through other regional galleries.
For more information, email gallery@everettcc.edu, call 425-388-9036, or visit the website at EverettCC.edu/Gallery.
Library
EvCC’s Library provides information and services to support student research and learning.
Resources include more than 65,000 books, 6,500 media items, 180,000 electronic books (eBooks), online access to approximately 35,000 full-text periodicals, and 85 periodicals in print format. Over 100 computer workstations provide access to the Internet and electronic resources. Participation in a regional interlibrary loan network further expands resources for students.
Faculty librarians assist students by helping them locate information, complete class assignments, and develop research skills. In addition to individual assistance from the reference desk, librarians teach instructional sessions and non-credit workshops.
There are individual and group study tables, casual lounge areas, and two media listening/viewing stations on the third floor. Students may reserve some of the study rooms in advance for group projects and discussion. Other group study rooms and individual study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Wireless internet connectivity is available in the library, and laptop computers may be checked out for in-library use. Students may check out netbook computers, Chromebooks, Wi-Fi hotspots, and graphing calculators for a full quarter of use. Photocopiers, black and white and color printing, scanning, and adaptive equipment for students with disabilities are available for use.

Tutoring
The Tutoring Center is a safe, creative study and learning environment committed to the success of each student at Everett Community College. Students can visit the Tutoring Center in Room 104 and 105 of the Cascade Learning Resource Center.
The Tutoring Center provides a friendly, supportive environment in which students may ask questions, find answers and network with other students. Professional and peer tutors help students develop learning skills, master course content and improve academic performance.
Academic support is provided in several formats: drop-in tutoring for one-on-one help, tutor-facilitated study group sessions, supplemental instruction/embedded tutoring for specific courses and online tutoring through the Northwest eTutoring Consortium.
Computers are available for students to use in a variety of ways. They can work on online homework, type papers, perform online research, use instructional software or access different websites for additional exercises in STEM and Accounting courses. Handouts for several subjects are available that provide students with explanations and practice.
Tutorial services are free to all enrolled students at EvCC. Students may access services only in the courses they are currently enrolled in at EvCC for credit.
Writing Center
The Writing Center, located online in Canvas and on campus in Cascade Learning Resource Center, provides support for student writers for all types of writing projects in any subject. Students also use the Writing Center for personal writing, resume, and scholarship application essays.
Writing Center assistants work collaboratively with writers offering feedback and providing ideas and methods for editing and revising in order to provide writers with transferable skills that will help them on future writing projects.
The Writing Center offers free drop-in and online tutoring. The Writing Center provides additional resources like dictionaries, grammar handbooks, textbooks, handouts, and writing exercises.
The Create Space
The Create Space gives students access and opportunities for self-directed learning and creativity. Students have access to software and hardware that they might not readily have access to outside of specific academic programs. There are also low-tech options available for students to collaborate, relax, and just have fun as well as tools that allow students to create personalized, creative projects. The Create Space regularly hosts events for students and provides space for students to meet and work together on assignments, club work, etc.
