How does the SSC support Student Success?
The SSC strives to ensure equity in student success through its commitment to supporting all of UofL's undergraduate students by minimizing barriers and maximizing opportunities to develop the qualities of a successful student--and to become engaged citizens, leaders, and scholars. This work is done by our Exploratory & Transition Advisors, Student Success Programs, Student Success Ambassador Peer Mentors, and Student Success Coordinators.
