Welcome to the Maple East and Ruddock Community! We are your Academic Success Mentors (ASMs). We are here to help you find the resources you need to succeed academically at IUP. Think of us as your GPS to college academics. You wouldn’t want to travel somewhere unknown without a map. So why travel through college without some assistance? ASMs are familiar with many of the resources on campus. We have an office in both Maple East and Ruddock located on the first floor (to the left of the main entrance). If the door is open, stop on in and say hi!
Here is a little bit about each of your ASMs:
Anastasia Gaines
Hi! My name is Anastasia Gaines. I am a junior Communications Media major and Journalism minor. I am from Hagerstown, Maryland, and before you ask, I only live 2.5 hours away! My favorite thing about IUP is the atmosphere of the university. The only thing I dislike about IUP is the weather. Does it really have to rain all the time? This is my first year as an ASM and I am excited to get to know all of the residents.
My office hours are:
Monday 2:30-4:30pm in Ruddock
Tuesday 10-11am and 2-3pm in Maple East
Wednesday 2:30-4:30pm in Ruddock
Thursday 10-11am and 2-3pm in Maple East
