The Student Support Services Tutoring Program has been fully revamped by Brittany Capp and recently received a 5-year Level I recertification through the College Reading & Learning Association’s International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). The application reflects a single, comprehensive tutoring program spanning all disciplines, a significant change to our operation since 2015.

Student Support Services and McNair staff are committed to assisting students beyond Kent State, recently contributing to the Educational Opportunity Association Conference. Jim Piascik presented “Expanding budgets in the time of COVID” with over 100 attendees and Siobhán Hicks, along with Dr. Kelly Cichy, presented “Addressing the mental health needs of TRIO-eligible students” with over 250 attendees.

The Exploratory academic advisors at Kent State help guide students through career, major and personal exploration. As a result of their hard work and dedication to our students, the team has just been selected as the recipient of the NACADA’s Region 5 Innovation in Advising Award for the Major Action Plan (MAP): Start to Finish program.

Our Student Success Program Coordinators are dedicated to education and leadership both on and off Kent campuses. Cody Holland and Tyler Verma presented at the virtual National Leadership Educator’s Institute and shared the great work they are doing within the Peer Leadership Training Course put on by ACPA, NASPA, OCPA, and NCLP.
