Resources on Campus: Center for Student Success
|

"Success is not a big step in the future, success is a small step taken right now."
~ Jonatan Martensson
The Center for Student Success strives to empower students in the strategic pursuit of their goals as they relate to personal transition, self-discovery, academic progress, and career planning. We do this through a variety of programs and services, including:
- First Year Initiatives - supports students throughout their transition to the University of Mount Union through the University’s Preview, Fall Orientation, and Exceptional Beginnings programs. Additionally, new students will have a Raider Guide who will mentor new students through the first year of college. For more information, contact Brian Hopkins, firstyear@mountunion.edu.
- Academic Support - to help students develop skills and behaviors for success in university-level coursework. Contact Tammi Kohl Kennedy at kennedta@mountunion.edu for information about tutoring, Raiders Rise, Success Series workshops and other academic support-related opportunities.
- Search-for-a-Major Support - support is available if you aren’t sure which major is right for you. Selecting a major is a big decision that doesn’t have to be filled with anxiety. With many options to choose from and many interests to consider, we can help you to find the major that is a natural fit! Contact Marci Muckleroy at muckleml@mountunion.edu to get started!
