While academic performance is a cornerstone of the college experience, a transformative college experience involves relationship building through experiential opportunities and with campus support resources. Here are some campus support resources to thrive in college: 

Support Resources:

Advising, Career and Student Success

The Center for Advising, Career and Student Success helps students understand academic requirements, provide assistance in choosing a career, and offer resources and skill development when academic difficulties arise.

Cooperative Learning Center

The Cooperative Learning Center engages a community of diverse learners in peer-to-peer collaboration to develop study skills, habits of mind, and knowledge essential for interdisciplinary learning. 

Educational Pathway Advisor

Internships provide hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to apply knowledge gained in the classroom, in real-world settings. Internship experiences provide:

  • exposure to industry practices
  • clarify career goals
  • and often lead to job opportunities

Students majoring in mechatronics engineering, are required to complete 60 hours of internship experience before graduating. Mechatronics engineering students in collaboration with the Educational Pathway Advisor, can navigate the internship research and application process together. Students seeking internship guidance, can schedule an appointment with their Educational Pathway Advisor. 

Engineering Club

The Engineering Club launched fall 2024, and is focused on bringing people together to create a good community for people interested in engineering. 

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office offers counseling appointments for assistance with financial aid.

Personal Growth and Counseling Center

Our philosophy is to value the self-worth of each individual, respect and embrace human diversity, and provide services that aid in the development of healthy behaviors necessary for success. Services provided:

Student Disability and Accessibility Center (SDAC)

SDAC assists students with gaining access to university programs and services such as accommodations for academic courses, housing and a variety of assistive technologies. 

Student Life

Engaging in campus life fosters personal growth, builds lifelong connects, enhances academic experiences, and develops essential skills like teamwork and leadership, shaping individuals for future success in diverse aspects of life. 

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center (UROC)

UROC pairs undergraduate students who are interested in conducting research and ultimately applying to graduate school (Master or PhD) with a faculty mentor closely related to the students’ academic interests. To further prepare them for life beyond their undergraduate education, students engage in professional experiences, such as the presentation of their research at professional conferences and the publication of their work in peer-reviewed journals.
