"I have just started the
program. I feel that everybody has been very
generous and supportive. I feel very comfortable
with asking questions and getting help. I feel that
I am really part of the group."
-SSS participant commenting on program evaluation |
Students participating in the Student Support Services
program will have the opportunity to meet with the
Academic Counselor on a regular basis. The SSS staff works closely with
departmental advisors, financial aid counselors, Career
Services, Counseling and Testing staff, and the Office
of Disability Services to ensure that TRiO students
understand the options and requirements of Austin Peay
State University. Participants will receive
valuable information through individualized learning
plans, degree audit reports, interest inventories and
career/major exploration.
Our counseling goal is to enhance the
academic and personal success of SSS participants. The
goals of graduating SSS
participants are job placement at the same or higher
rate than the general Austin Peay student, and/or
admission to a graduate/professional school when
appropriate.
The
Student Support Services program staff facilitates
interaction between participants and Career Services to
ensure that information and opportunities are available
to participants. |
