Because college life can seem overwhelming at times, Student Support Services advisors also offer assistance with financial aid, career decisions, as well as other areas of personal concern. PEER MENTORING Request a Mentor Become a Mentor We know the freshman year experience can seem overwhelming at times. That is why we pair our freshmen with Student Support Services peer mentors who have "been there and done that!" Our mentors help students who are new to campus get adjusted more quickly.

EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES Student Support Services (SSS) sponsors educational enrichment activities for all participants each semester. Because student success is supported by a holistic approach, these activities are designed to strengthen retention, engagement, and personal development.

FINANCIAL LITERACY The decision to attend college is one that will create many opportunities for you. What lies ahead is full of possibility. Continuing your education is often the first step toward achieving goals pertaining to your career and personal accomplishment, but it can be expensive and full of challenges. In an effort to help you become confident and financially independent as you continue your education, SSS offers many educational tools to help you maintain healthy financial habits. You will learn how to take control of your money, so that your money will not take control of you. The financial decisions you make during college might range from handling loose change to managing thousands of dollars. Nevertheless, no matter how much money you are dealing with, determining your finances helps you determine your future. When you know how to manage your money, you will be better prepared to pursue your goals -- and have enough money to make them a reality!
