Student Experience

We aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind campus experience that spurs lifelong connections and promotes personal growth. That’s why we built a team of experts and professionals exclusively dedicated to supporting new students within the Student Enrichment Center. They are coaches, connectors and, at times, cheerleaders, who proactively engage students before they even enroll in classes and who help each person find a sense of belonging on our campus.

We’re at a critical time when meaningful, positive change is within reach for those who are willing to think differently, are open to partnering, and not afraid of the hard work it will take. That kind of mindset creates an unbreakable determination.â€
