Academic Success Coaching
About the Program:
The Success Scholars Program is a retention centered program for Asian American, Black, African American, Latinx, and LGBTQIA+ students. The program is committed to empowering students to succeed and realize their full potential at Middlesex and beyond. By facilitating mentoring relationships, providing opportunities for reflection and self-examination, building personal financial wellness awareness, and teaching academic and career readiness skills, the program helps students strengthen students’ self-confidence, learn to navigate the college system, and articulate and pursue their academic and professional goals.
Students are encouraged to join SUCCESS at Middlesex Community College through targeted outreach that follows an opt-out approach. Eligible students may reach out directly for more information and are automatically enrolled unless they request not to join. All SUCCESS students at Middlesex are supported by the program until they earn their certificate or degree. By design, students are aware that they are receiving services through SUCCESS.
