The Student Support Services office offers a variety of services designed to help you meet your changing needs as you travel your individual college path.  Part of the Department of Special Programs, Student Support Services is a federally funded program that is designed to assist low income, first generation college students navigate the college landscape.

We offer personal, career, and academic counseling in addition to tutoring and Supplemental Instruction via the newly renovated Academic Resource Center (ARC) located in Centennial Hall, Room 107.  The new Career Center supports your career planning efforts and offers assistance with the job search, internships, graduate school preparation, resumes, cover letters, etiquette, wardrobe, as well as anything else that might help you on your journey.

Students meet with an SSS counselor on an annual basis to fill out the individualized education plan or IEP to set goals and discuss appropriate strategies.  SSS then helps  students meet their goals by providing workshops and activities designed to support the student as he or she moves through the academic year.  Best of all, these services are offered free of charge and are designed to support academic needs while complementing both the student's personal and social growth.
