This initiative of the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences embraces the goals of the Student Success Network.

The LASS Mentoring Center provides students with a specific place to go for advising and mentoring, as well as a source of information about things like study abroad, internships and graduate studies. The use of professional advisors and student mentors facilitates connections with other students, faculty and staff in the School of LASS -- connections that will lead to success in college.
