Student Success
Success as we define it involves a lot of work-- attending class, studying hard. However, the road to success can also be FUN -- developing lasting friendships and growing through participation in activities around campus.
The Office of
Student Success is here to help you on your journey! It's all
about helping you succeed at Milligan -- and ultimately be a
servant-leader to change lives and shape culture.
We want you to
succeed. We believe you have the ability to succeed. We want
to help you succeed. But, what do you want? We realize
that for many students the road to college success can
sometimes be challenging, with a variety of academic and
non-academic obstacles. Overcoming these obstacles typically involves
three basic steps:
-
Identify the
obstacles. What stands in your way? What is keeping you
from success at Milligan?
-
Identify
strategies for overcoming these difficulties. What options
do you have? What
resources might help you in your quest?
-
Commit to change. Problems do not vanish spontaneously. If
you are driving into a ditch, closing your eyes and crossing
your fingers will not help. You must slow down and turn the
steering wheel. Will you do it? What do you really want?

Student Success offerings are available to
all undergraduate and graduate students. Questions? Contact
