South Holland, IL — South Suburban College (SSC) is excited to announce the launch of our “College & Career Success Center Enhancements” campaign. This initiative is designed to significantly improve services for our current and prospective students, ensuring a more seamless and comprehensive enrollment experience.
Enhancing Student Support
With a renewed focus on enrollment, retention, and completion, SSC has made strategic investments to support student success. The “College & Career Success Center Enhancements” (CCSC) campaign is a pivotal step in SSC’s commitment to providing exceptional support to students at every stage of their academic and career journeys. The following services will now transition from a nine month to a 12-month service delivery model, ensuring that students receive continuous support throughout their academic journey. The campaign will focus on the following key areas:
- Streamlined Enrollment Process: Introducing new technologies and resources making enrollment more efficient and user-friendly for prospective students.
- Career Services Expansion: Enhancing career advising and career preparedness opportunities to better serve the students.
- Academic Advising Improvements: Strengthening academic advising to offer more personalized guidance and support, helping students to navigate their educational paths effectively and offering additional hours to meet with Academic & Career Advisors.
- Resource Accessibility: Increasing awareness and access to educational resources, including tutoring, mentoring programs, and workshops that address the needs of a diverse student body.
We invite everyone to join us at these events to learn more about the benefits of these exciting new improvements.
