This year, along with seven academic advisors, four learning specialists, two administrative assistants, a director and an IT specialist, Vickery Hall has over one hundred highly trained tutors in a variety of subjects, monitors, class checkers, IT support, and front desk assistants prepared to begin the new school year.
