| Will my Student Success Coach replace my existing Academic Advisor? | Not at all! You will continue to work with your existing Academic Advisor throughout your degree program. Your bilingual Student Success Coach, Melissa Valle, will provide services and resources that complement those you already receive.
Our tutors are also bilingual, giving you the option of receiving support in both, or either one of your preferred languages. The Student Success Coach will work closely with your advisors and Faculty to offer you the support that you need to succeed in your classes.

| Is the Center open only for Undergraduates, Hispanic/Latinos, international students, or first-generation students? | Absolutely not! The Center is a place for all students to feel at home; socialize, study and collaborate. Per grant guidelines, our advising, tutoring, and lending library services are available for undergraduate students. Our events, programs, and activities are open to all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the community.

| How can I get involved with the Center? | Volunteer for one of our existing programs, organize an event or program you propose, and attend our events. The sky is the limit, and we want to hear your ideas! Please contact Melissa Valle, Student Success Coach, with your inquiries or ideas at [email protected] |
