Community Help & Services

The Student Services team provides social, emotional, and academic support for learning and development. Along with learner support, the Success Coaches help support and identify resources for students’ needs as they arise.  Some college students may face challenges related to family stressors, poverty, health problems, and many other factors that play a part in the everyday life of being a student. Success Coaches can also research other local and national resources for individual student support.
