U. of Phoenix throws open its doorsApr 30, 2011 (The Arizona Daily Star - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The local University of Phoenix campus is having an open house today to show off its remodeled student center and offer job-search workshops. The Tucson campus is home to about 1,000 college students, mainly studying nursing, counseling, education and business. The new center is a place for them to study individually or to do group work, which the school emphasizes. The center also has a TV lounge and about 40 computers. Students need these resources to be successful, said campus director Gregg Johnson. Sometimes students who take classes online need a place to go for homework. For others, the center means access to a better computer or tutoring, he said. UP is also offering free workshops today on resume writing and dressing for a job interview. Visitors also can take part in mock job interviews and get feedback for improvement. If you go University of Phoenix open house When: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today Where: UP campus at 300 S.
