Student Opportunities for Success
S.O.S., a first year experience program, was developed to assist incoming and continuing students to make a successful transition to college, both academically and personally. By providing a strong foundation of essential college strategies for success, these programs will aid in student retention.
S.O.S. Objectives
Students will develop a sense of community by increasing involvement in campus activities among peers, staff and faculty, making a large college feel more personal. The student will develop an awareness of academic and personal support services and resources, while creating an atmosphere that minimizes anxiety. S.O.S. will promote a positive attitude and stimulate an excitement for learning. S.O.S. participants will benefit by learning how to adapt and function to their fullest potential in the college setting.
S.O.S. Outcomes:
S.O.S. participants will master academic survival skills and be able to demonstrate a knowledge and use of campus resources, which will aid in retention. Through the development of these skills, students will gain a sense of belonging to the MCC community. Hence, the student will not only be successful in the completion of academic goals, he/she will have learned how to be a skillful and active learner.
