CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT

Program Overview

Student Support Services is a federally funded program designed to help students make a smooth transition from high school, and to successfully graduate from college. Students must be an American citizen or permanent resident and have an academic need. The program helps students achieve these objectives through mentoring, tutoring, individual and group counseling, as well as participating in various cultural events and trips.

Student Mentors

Our student mentors ("Student Helping Students"), are successful juniors and seniors who provide friendship and guidance for freshman and sophomores who can benefit from the knowledge of more experienced students. Students must have 30-40 credits and a B overall average.
If interested contact Mrs. Boone at 305-626-3712 or email at sboone@fmuniv.edu.

Student Tutors

Individualized tutoring is provided in a variety of subjects as most of us have at least one subject that gives us difficulty. This is a free service which students should take advantage of before they experience difficulty.

Activities

Our cultural activities include trips to dramatic performances (plays, musicals) museums, restaurants and fairs, as well as sponsoring such events as Kwanzaa and the Olympics.
