One of the areas in which there was a lack in was multi-media. Before 2008, TAMU-Commerce was not properly equipped with multi- media equipment. This is one area in which CLiC was able obtain the proper equipment. CLiC not only brings in multi-media but, the writing center, developmental activities, first year and basic writing are all apart of CLiC.
Through the various areas of CLiC, students are assisted more properly than in the past. The vision is to keep this assistance going and to reach out to as many students as possible, and to help students realize their full potential in various literacies.
