The Academic Support Program also works closely with the Academic and Professionalism faculty Committee to identify and assist students who may need additional support outside the academic arena. The staff proactively engage students in one-on-one schedule management and interpersonal engagement sessions and provide guidance for students to achieve academic success through regular student centered initiatives as they transition from undergraduate or other career path into the professional degree setting.
