Office of Student Success and Engagement
Rooted in excellence, connected with care.
The Office of Student Success and Engagement’s mission is to retain students and increase the 4-year graduation rate by providing comprehensive academic and co-curricular support programs that empower students to succeed academically and personally.
Our Philosophy is simple and powerful.
Every student is different, and we love it that way. We celebrate their diverse identities, backgrounds, experiences, cultures, perspectives, and abilities as strengths that enrich the Greensboro College community.
College is a time of transition. We empower students to face the challenges and take charge of their college experience—and whatever comes next.
We accomplish our mission by:
- Leading initiatives and student support programs grounded in best-practice research that equip students with the tools, skills, and resources they need to complete all four years
- Partnering with faculty and staff to align the academic and co-curricular experience
- Creating and integrating specific interventions to increase success equity and access for first-generation college students, income-sensitive students, and students from marginalized backgrounds
Empowering students to navigate their path.
At Greensboro College, students follow Your Path Forward [link to Your Path Forward page] — a personalized educational experience that connects them to their true potential. The Office of Student Success and Engagement offers several resources and programs to support students throughout this journey and empower them to succeed, including:
Student Activities – The Office of Student Activities serves as the gateway to campus involvement, offering educational and recreational programs designed to help students connect socially, develop personally, and reach their full potential—all while having fun!
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) – Greensboro College is rooted in the belief that everyone has a place in our campus community. Learn more about why and how we stand for diversity.
Global Communication Center (GCC) – Share your voice in an all-new way at the GCC, where students can find the tools and support to create any communication project they can dream up—from a paper to a presentation to a podcast.
Supplemental Instruction Program (SIP)/Math Support – For some of our most rigorous courses, students can receive additional support through peer-led teaching and learning groups, and supplemental one-on-one instruction from our professors.
Get the support you need to go as far as you dream.
At Greensboro College, you’ll get a personalized education from people who believe in your extraordinary potential and will help you create the path to achieve it.
