Exciting News from the Division of Student Success
Here are some updates from the Division of Student Success:
New Center for Student Success
We are building a new Center for Student Success (CSS), which will be located in the heart of campus, the Gengras Student Union. It is expected to be complete in October. In the meantime, you can find the CSS staff in several spaces on campus, with our main office being in the Computer Center on the second floor.
Our advisors will be spending time with their assigned colleges each week and sit at locations where students spend time on campus. You can identify them by their branded UHart laptops with a big H. Below is a list of the first-year advisors for each college.
