UTHSC News: Center for Student Success Offers Comprehensive Assistance to Students

When the Center for Student Success officially opened its doors last September, students had one place to go for help with any issues that might derail heir progress.

Food insecurity, housing, academic issues, and other personal situations are potential roadblocks to graduation. However, the Center for Student Success is designed to be a comprehensive resource to help students navigate these issues that might hinder or even halt their learning.

"It's working really well," said Charles Snyder, PhD, vice chancellor of Student Success for UT Health Science Center.

Formerly two offices - Student Affairs and Student Academic Support Services and Inclusion - the Office of Student Success and its Center for Student Success assist with academic support, accessibility, short-term counseling, student life connections, the CARE Team for crisis management, and other issues.

"One of the things we did is we restructured so it just is more intuitive to students coming onto our campus," Dr. Snyder said. "The other thing we did is we resituated services so they can partner more closely on a number of projects, and that's both from a best practices perspective and also from a regulatory perspective."
