Open Study Space

The TSSC offers a welcoming space where students can study between classes, meet with peers, work on assignments, or take a break during a busy day. Students can also access printing, study supplies, snacks, and charging ports while using the center.

 

Success Coaching and Student Support

Success coaching gives students a space to talk through academic goals, personal goals, time management, motivation, accountability, and next steps. Coaching is designed to help students feel supported, prepared, and connected to helpful campus resources.
