In part four of a short series of podcast episodes, we speak with Penny Turrentine, Ph. D., Adjunct Faculty and Program Coordinator at Pima Community College, regarding another foundational pillar on which to build a successful Learning Center at your college or university.

Penny gives examples of building rapport through playfulness, attending student games as a team, and training her staff for interactions with students.
