Primarily through phone calls, these freshmen are informed of the services of OMSS, and have the opportunity to have questions answered. After freshmen, new transfers, probationary students, and those requesting tutoring are called. Information is relayed to those students about tutoring, the availability of learning skills information, and the last day to drop the class without a grade. Students are urged to pursue opportunities to interact and communicate with their instructors. The goal of the tutoring program is to give academic support to students in their classes.
Students first contact their instructor, then investigate tutoring offered through the department.
If this does not meet their needs, our office will identify a tutor employed by OMSS and work out the necessary arrangements. In addition, an academic Skills Specialist is available to assist with general study skills, such as test taking, note taking, reading and time management. The Office of Multicultural Student Services is committed to the personal growth of students. Through involvement in various opportunities, students can achieve greater self-awareness, while also gaining skills to become agents of change in their organizations, on campus and in the community. Involvement and Leadership Opportunities Several organizations for students of color are available, offering leadership skills and social interaction.
