CHHSN SSC Advising Mission

The foundation of advising for the College of Health, Human Services, and Nursing (CHHSN), Student Success Center (SSC) is based upon conceptual, relational, and informational principles, which are the core competencies of NACADA The Global Community for Academic Advising. In this belief, the advisors of CHHSN SSC are fully dedicated to socio-personal, academic, and career support for our students. The advisors provide this support by being responsive to student needs, issues, and concerns to innovate our advising practices towards equity, accessibility, and inclusion. As a center, we build a community that prepares students for the knowledge and skills they need as student leaders and emerging health and human services professionals. The advisors cultivate this community and college identity by creating a collaborative space in partnership with the college’s students, staff, and faculty.
