Student Support Programs for Campaign
Student Support Programs
Student success at the College depends in large part on Student Support programs. But funding for these important programs is in jeopardy.
The programs the College offers give students a chance to enhance and accelerate their learning experience whether they are first-generation college students or those with remedial needs.
Those programs include:
- The Middle College, which provides an avenue for selected at-risk high-school students, who show potential but need motivation, a chance to study in selected technical fields while earning college credit and income through internships
- Remedial courses in various areas of study such as Math, English and Science that give students additional support and programs that allow them to better grasp college-level academics
- The Speckman Tutoring and Learning Center where students can receive assistance for courses such as Biology, Math, Spanish, Study Skills, Reading, Chemistry, Accounting, Keyboarding and Computer Applications
- The Writing and Speech Communication centers, where students can receive assistance in any aspect of a writing or speech project
With the support of this initiative, the College plans to:
- Staff the student support center with an expert in each content area for one-on-one tutoring
- Offer students a quiet location where they can go to focus on their studies
- Increase student success rates
