Student Success Day Draws Record Crowd

Student Success day drew a big crowd this year in the Bolick Center of PVCC’s main building on Sept. 9. Over 350 students attended either a workshop or the resource fair, according to the Student Success office.
The day consisted of 12 different interactive workshops for students from 10 a.m. – 11:55 a.m. Three workshops were scheduled each 25-minute time block.
There were workshops for math, financial aid, college transfer, writing, dealing with stress, and many more! Each workshop also offered free cookies to any students who attended.
Activity hour started at 12 p.m. and consisted of a resource fair followed by free food and music. To receive two slices of free pizza and a drink, all students had to do was walk around the resource fair and collect stickers from the various departments they talked to there. The heads of each major department set up a table to talk with students about the different services around campus to help them succeed.
Phi Theta Kappa also had a table where they were encouraging students to sign a card stating that they commit to completing a degree at PVCC.
“We’re hopeful that by holding this event during the sixth week of the semester, some students who may not be doing as well as they would like will begin immediately practicing/using some of what they were just exposed to,” said David Lerman, the coordinator of student success.
