Located next to the coffee shop in the Library, the Center for Student Success at SNU houses many distinct but interconnected areas, all focused on creating spaces of belonging and affinity for all learners at SNU. Areas of the Center for Student Success include Academic Engagement Services, Disability Services, Student Retention Initiatives, and New Student Institute. Each of these diverse programs works to promote and sustain inclusion and a sense of belonging in areas including race, class, gender, ethnicity, culture, and ableness. These programs work in close collaboration to embrace and support SNU’s mission of creating Christ-like disciples through higher education.

Academic Engagement
Our academic engagement services seek to provide all SNU students with a high-quality educational experience through relevant academic programming and support services that fosters academic success. The high-quality experience will lead to students’ readiness for career integration and/or advanced degree aspiration. We execute this mission by offering dynamic support services including academic advising, strategies courses for underprepared students, academic coaching, tutoring services, academic workshops, and our early alert system.

Access and Opportunity
At SNU, we believe the core of our Christian identity is defined by Christ and his work on earth. In this passage, Christ emphasizes that the work of the gospel is one of liberation and flourishing. We believe that by providing access to educational support and resources and by guiding students to opportunities that allow them to grow and flourish, we are fulfilling this central mandate of Christian work in the world. Many of our students find themselves held captive not only by systems of inequity and poverty but also by spiritual and social experiences. We take seriously Christ’s words to “proclaim release to the captives (and) to let the oppressed go free.” With God’s help, we work together with our students to create a place where every student at SNU can thrive and grow in Christ-centered community.
