Sophomore Tigers Earn their Stripes

The inaugural Earn Your Tiger Stripes program, celebrated students as they progress from one classification to the next (freshman to sophomore). Each time a student earns 30 credits, they’ll be honored for their hard work and dedication. It's a great reminder that no journey is too long—every step forward is worth celebrating! We believe in providing the right support to get students to sophomore status and beyond. Through personalized advising, we ensure that students’ prior credits, such as dual enrollment and AP credits, are properly accounted for, and offer a range of academic and emotional support to keep them on track. From tutoring in the Tiger Hub to mental health resources across campus, we’re committed to helping students succeed. Together, we push each other to keep moving forward, and we can’t wait to continue celebrating these milestones!
