The Student Success Center (SSC) is located in lower level of Colter Hall, down the ramp on the east side of the front steps. Stop by or call (307) 754-6135 for all your scheduling needs. The SSC also offers the following:
- Student Health—your first stop for health-related questions and concerns without the price of an office visit. Contact Roxie Herman, physician’s assistant (307) 754-6442.
- Disability Support Services—responds to the needs of students with documented disabilities as outlined both in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (Amended) of 2008. If you have a documented disability, please contact the Disability Support Services Coordinator, at (307) 754-6227 for free, confidential individualized services. The process for determining accommodations is a collaborative one that may or may not require third-party documentation. We encourage students to contact us to engage in a discussion to identify and remove barriers in their academic experience.
- Project Succeed helps 160 eligible students each year position themselves for success and pursue excellence through graduation and/or transfer to a four-year college. The staff offers academic success and budgeting strategies as well as career and transfer assistance. Eligible students are U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have low income, whose parents do not have a four-year (bachelor’s) degree, and/or who have documented disabilities. Project Succeed is funded by the U.S. Department of Education as a Student Support Services TRiO program and is staffed by Jean Nash (307) 754-6224, Nancy Fees, and Shannon Lusk. Enrollment is open until the project is filled.
- Counseling—Licensed Clinical Counselors Cynthia Garhart (307) 754-6135 and Roena Halbur (307) 754-6192 work with students providing counseling for mental health issues including depression, eating concerns, relationships, anxiety, and grief, to name a few. Adjustment issues in college such as homesickness, stress management, and study skills are other common areas for which students may wish to seek assistance from the counselors. There is an intern this semester to assist with counseling needs so students are encouraged to stop by for just one visit or for weekly visits.
