Individual Staff Meetings
The goal of SSS-STEM is to increase the retention and graduation rates of STEM students with underrepresented backgrounds (low-income, first generation, or have documented disabilities) who have an academic need. We will help every step of the way as our students pursue a higher education at TAMU-CC as every student should have equal opportunity to reach their full personal, academic, and career potential.
Each student is assigned to an SSS-STEM staff member. This staff member will work one-on-one with students to create an educational plan to identify key areas of academic, financial, and other needs. Meetings are tailored to each student's individual need and cover topics including:
- Prepare/plan for upcoming semesters
- Discuss a variety of college-related questions/concerns
- Assist with FAFSA and scholarship applications
- Complete resumes and cover letters
- Search for graduate school options
- Assist with career/job searches and interview preparation
- And so much more!
Students can meet with staff in person, online via WebEx, over the phone, or via email correspondence.
To remain in good standing with the SSS-STEM program, we ask that students meet with their staff member at least once a month.
