In an area a third the size of a football field, the new Academic Success Center opened its doors for 6,700 students attending the College this fall. Looking over this large, ultra-modern space with its dedicated technologies, users can quickly see where they belong. And they can see the $156 spent per square foot.

Nearly 60 part-time tutors join the director and staff members in making sure students can obtain individualized support.
