PACE Program

Student Support Services PACE program is funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. It is a support program designed to improve the retention and graduation rates of students who needed additional assistance to succeed in college. The program’s academic support services include academic, career, and financial support. The program is adapted to fit the individuality of the student’s needs as well as providing general academic support for the benefit of the entire student body.

PACE, in conjunction with Student Academic Support Services, Academic Advising and Admissions, provides specifically designed Seminars with an intensive one-week pre-college transition program for all students enrolled into the Student Support Services program. The PACE program provide those tools required to help students reach academic potential and success.
