Student Success Center

Student Success Center

The Department of Psychology’s Student Success Center (SSC) is a space where students can use technology (e.g., printers, SPSS), receive support from graduate assistants and participate in peer mentoring and workshops (on study tips, social justice topics, etc.). For the 2024-25 school year, the SSC will be mainly housed in DEG 404 which offers quiet study space, computers and a printer, and a small library. The graduate assistants assigned to the SSC lead presentations and panel discussions, study sessions, and resume and cover letter reviews. They also lead interactive workshops on themes such as APA style for writing papers, study strategies, how to network, social justice topics, using campus resources, time management techniques.
