Educational Outreach

Educational Outreach is designed to give students structured time and space to focus, plan, and make real progress. These sessions support academic learning by offering accountability, strategy tips, and access to staff, all in a low-pressure, productive environment.

These initiatives go beyond the traditional workshop model, bringing the Student Success Center directly into the spaces where students already are, in collaboration with offices and departments across campus. Programming includes Success Talks, a peer-led speaker series where students share strategies and support with one another, along with tabling and outreach events held on campus for student groups upon request.

To request a personalized workshop, please fill out our request form.

Please note:
Educational Outreach topics, times, and locations are subject to change. This page will be updated to reflect forthcoming changes.
