In recent months, you've probably noticed a growing emphasis on connecting Pellissippi State students with campus and community resources to equip them in making progress toward personal and academic goals. 

Pellissippi State's academic support program is one of the primary channels through which we help students access resources. When a faculty member identifies a struggling student, s/he can notify the appropriate Student Success coordinator, who in turn will reach out to the individual, discuss any barriers s/he is facing, and guide him or her to the appropriate place for support. The program has served the College for many years and continues to help students find and utilize the many resources available to them.

This week, Pellissippi State is providing a great new way for students to make connections, by hosting the very first Sharing Our Area Resources event - initially at the Hardin Valley Campus, and eventually at site campuses also. You can read more about SOAR here .  I hope that you'll not only encourage students to attend but that you'll also come to learn about some pretty amazing campus and community resources.
