What are Student Support Services?

The mission of the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts Student Support Services is to enhance the quality and level of service provided to our students through academic advisement, student retention, and support activities.

Student Support Services works to promote an atmosphere which provides opportunities, for not only academic growth, but also personal growth and social and professional development, through programs and activities which bring students, faculty and professionals together.

Activities and services are designed to nurture the College's diverse student population and advance camaraderie and integration among the programs, students and staff.

Student Support Services seeks to personalize and build upon the University's goal to provide students with the kind of college experience and learning environment necessary to help them meet their academic and professional goals.
