Office of Student Success
Personalized Advice by Caring Engineering Professionals
The School of Engineering Office of Student Success (OSS) provides academic advising for your first two years when you’ll need the most support. We are staffed by engineering professionals who have experience in the field as engineers as well. Our job is to guide you through your early academic career through one-on-one, personalized advising. OSS advisers will help you stay on track with your degree program while crafting a custom set of experiences (cooperative education, study abroad, ETHOS, etc.) to complement your academic coursework. We take great pride in the relationships that we build with our students.
Mission
The Office of Student Success champions student success by supporting and enhancing the student experience. We incorporate our Catholic and Marianist philosophy of inclusiveness and community and value the diversity of our students. We provide academic guidance and serve as mentors and resources of information in the pursuit of our students’ degrees and educational and career goals. Advising often goes beyond academics and our goal is to be a trusted adviser – the person our students can feel comfortable coming to about anything.
