Our Mission

The mission of Student Success & Retention Services (SSRS) is to address historical and institutional inequities resulting in achievement gaps for underserved students by fostering a community of learners and leaders through innovative services and pedagogies that increase retention, persistence, graduation, and transfer rates

Student Success and Retention Services (SSRS)
provides academic enrichment and support services for:

• students with historically low retention and transfer rates and
• first-generation college students

There are several programs under the SSRS umbrella including Summer Bridge, First Year Experience (FYE), Sankofa Scholars, and as well as the Puente Project. Each of these programs provides a supportive community of peer mentors, tutors, faculty, counselors, and program staff to assist students in defining their educational goal and developing a plan of action to achieve them.
