Introducing the new Student Success and Academic Resource centers
|
In late summer, President Darrel Colson announced the dissolution of the Pathways Center and the creation of the new Student Success Center and Academic Resource Center. While the services offered remained the same, this change did come with some important location changes that will impact where students go for those services.
