Educational Opportunity and Success Programs
- EOF is designed to meet the educational and financial needs of students whose potential
for college may not be reflected in their academic grades and whose economic background
makes it extremely difficult for them to pursue a college education without financial
aid. Information on the Program and eligibility requirements are available on the
EOF Web page.
- Student Success Scholars Program (formerly CARE) is a program designed to assist students with their overall experience
here at ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ. The Program aims to help students navigate and maximize
the benefits of various academic and student life resources available at ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ
and includes individualized mentoring by ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ faculty and staff and trained peer
mentors.
Military & Veteran Success Center
The Military & Veteran Success Center was created for the purpose of outreach to student
veterans, active service members and reservists. A primary mission of the veteran’s
program is to guide ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ veterans and active service members to a variety of services
that may benefit them and help them to connect with one another. With the anticipated
return of our troops from overseas, ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ will further the development of these
programs and services.

The Office of Student Transition Programs strives to provide excellent programing
in the areas of orientation, transition and retention to serve all new undergraduate
students at ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ. The office is committed to providing an environment
for inclusion while welcoming and acclimating new students to our institution in collaboration

WGSC will accomplish this by promoting equality and justice, ensuring access to opportunities, and providing services through education and advocacy.
The Office of Student Conduct oversees Campus Hearing Board process and Campus Conduct Code for students; in addition, we also oversee the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) and the Mediation & Problem Solving Program (MAPS).
