About

The Office of Student Success helps Salukis build a strong foundation for academic achievement and personal growth from the moment they arrive on campus. Through academic advising, first-year experience programs, living-learning communities, residence hall support, and free tutoring services, the office connects students with the resources, guidance, and encouragement they need to thrive. These programs help students successfully navigate the transition to college, stay on track toward graduation, and develop the confidence and skills necessary for long-term success.

Your support of the Office of Student Success directly impacts students where it matters most. Gifts help expand access to academic coaching, tutoring, peer mentoring, advising initiatives, first-year programming, and student success resources that improve retention and graduation outcomes. Every donation helps ensure that students facing academic, financial, or personal challenges have the support network they need to persist, achieve their goals, and graduate prepared to make a difference in their careers and communities. By investing in student success, you are investing in the future of every Saluki.
