Student Support Services (SSS)
Student Support Services (SSS) continues to strengthen its efforts by interfacing with the campus community and offering programming to assist students holistically. SSS played an active role in assisting with New Student Orientations (NSO) in July, August and September. The Director, John Burrell collaborated with ACE counselor, Miss Brittany Motely to deliver an informational segment to the Thorobred parents entitled "Giddy-Up Partners" informing them of the resources available to KSU students; how to access them and benefits of utilizing these onsite venues. SSS counselors and office personnel provided an informational table in the exhibit area with one-on-one discussion with parents and students about details of SSS and services.
SSS started the fall semester with a series of events and workshops. The staff assisted new students during “Move in Day” assisting new freshmen in moving in the residence halls and providing directions for parents and new students. On August 27th, SSS participated in the “Welcome Back Extravaganza” on the plaza at Carl Hill Student Center distributing information as well as on location sign-ups for participation with SSS.
On August 30, SSS began the calendar of event series for fall semester with an "Opening Day/Welcome Back" informational session for new and returning participants. Following this session and throughout the semester, counselors and participants will interface in one-on-one sessions so we can stay abreast of their progress. Productive workshops are scheduled and hosted by professionals from both on and off campus entities.
On September 17, SSS sponsored a Financial Literacy Workshop, which included presenters from Financial Aid and Fifth Third (5/3) Bank, who delivered valuable information about financial aid and credit building. Other workshops scheduled include: learning styles, study skills, note taking, and memory, social and professional etiquette.
