OC program helps students

Students enrolling at Odessa Collge for the spring semester
who need extra help in succeeding in college may apply for a
new program that provides intensive services including
academic assistance.

Student Support Services (SSS) is a program that partners
faculty and staff with 150 students and provides them with
individualized counseling, tutoring, assistance in applying
for financial aid and cultural enrichment activities. The
program's goal is to help students successfully complete
courses and graduate from OC and/or transfer to a four-year
university.

SSS, a federally funded grant, will provide OC with $180,000
a year for four years to give academic help to highly
motivated students.

"New students may feel overwhelmed in college," says Alfredo
Chaparro, SSS project director. "This program can be a big
help to students who qualify and are serious about
succeeding in college." Students interested in information
about the program may contact Chaparro at 335-6576, or Karen
Ellis at 335-6314.
