Where to Find Student Support Services in College

 

Sometimes College-life sneaks up on you. One minute, you’re going to class, making new friends, joining the club baseball team, catching up on laundry, and then the next minute, you’re falling behind on coursework or feeling lonely. It happens.

At Saint Rose, there’s a team of people here whose job it is to get you back on track and help you succeed.

In addition to the one-on-one support you’ll receive from your professors, the staff at the Academic Success Center, Residence Life, Counseling Center, and Spiritual Life will provide you with the resources needed to gain confidence and excel at college.

 

Here’s where to go for support and mentorship:

The Academic Success Center: Located on the second floor of Saint Joseph Hall, the Academic Success Center will provide you with learning support based on your individual need.  “Our goal is to not only help students become independent and confident learners but also to increase their academic success and help them reach their ultimate goal of graduation.”

Services provided at the Saint Rose Academic Success Center include:

Participants will be provided with an on-going orientation of all campus resources during their first year to increase academic and social success. “The Office of Intercultural Leadership is committed to enhancing the student experience for underrepresented populations while promoting a campus-wide understanding of cultural diversity.”

Spiritual Life: The Office of Spiritual Life is for people of all beliefs and backgrounds. The office provides a series of programs that focus on helping students grow spiritually and personally, including:

FLIGHT: FLIGHT is a mentorship program for first-generation students as a component of a campus-wide initiative called The Saint Rose Circle of Success. Every FLIGHT student is partnered with a guide who is interested and invested in your success. Guides are faculty, administrators, and staff members of the College, many of whom were or are currently first-generation students themselves. “Their role is to assist you in making a successful academic and personal adjustment to the College, acclimating to the campus community, and providing you with opportunities to develop meaningful connections to College employees who can help you succeed through your first year.”
