The Student Success Center started the 2009-2010 academic year off with exciting activities during the first two weeks of the semester. On August 24th and 25th, we hosted our annual Open House to highlight support services: Disability Support Services, Tutoring, TRIO Student Support Services, and Retention Services. Many students and staff stopped by to learn about our programs, sign up for door prizes, and to enjoy refreshments. Presentations were also made to approximately six classes of students. Many students signed up for tutoring, and appointments were made for TRIO and DSS. It was an exciting, yet tiring, time for SSC staff.
On Monday, August 31, 2009, we hosted a motivational speaker. Jeff McGoy, a local talent, presented an inspiring and entertaining presentation called “Get Ready World: Here I Come!” Those in attendance gained valuable insights to equip them for staying motivated during the year ahead.
The math and biology help rooms opened for business on Wednesday August 26th with limited access, and with full access that began on Monday, August 31st. Individual tutoring also began on the 31st , in our newly remodeled tutor room. Many slots are full and some students are already on waiting lists.
TRIO is in the process of identifying and selecting participants for the upcoming year. Intakes are being conducted daily, and open slots are filling quickly. The selection process is going on through October 31, 2009.
The Staff in the SSC are all experiencing a very active semester for our programs. With the campus experiencing exceptionally high enrollment, the need for support services will be even more important. All students needing services are encouraged to stop by the center to take advantage of what we have to offer.
