Student Success Workshops

Student Success Workshops are 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. Options include Power Hour (focused work time with light support) and Prep Sessions (guided support for tasks like advising, enrollment, or exam planning). Sessions may also be offered in campus housing, Greek houses, or for student groups upon request.
