“Our students’ success is a product of their hard work and sacrifice as well as a reflection of the support that they receive from their relatives, friends, and the entire college community,” Nicholas said. “We all share in the celebration of their achievement and wish them continued success as they continue to pursue their academic and career goals.”

The program is a student-focused center of excellence in academic advising, career exploration, disability services, mentoring, supplemental instruction, student development, and tutoring.
