Student Success
What Does Student Success Mean?
The goal of Student Success in the College of Public Health is to support the academic and personal development of our students by assisting them in acquiring the abilities and approaches necessary to succeed at UNMC and beyond. We support activities that improve academic performance, increase retention rates, and encourage personal and professional growth among our graduate students on campus and around the world.
How Can Student Success Help Me?
Student Success can assist students in making the most out of their methods of learning to accomplish all their educational goals here within the College of Public Health.
Here are some of the ways Student Success can help you:
- One-on-one meetings where students can set their own academic goals during the coaching sessions and receive assistance and accountability in the process
- Supplemental instruction “peer-to-peer tutoring." Students have access to virtual support in courses that historically have been difficult courses within the mph degree or certificate program
- Handouts and videos provide advice and resources to help students succeed academically
- Study groups and boot camps give students the chance to get together to study in groups and make the most of their time. Wherever they are in the world
If you would like to discuss your educational goals further, please send an email to Ronald Glenn.
