Our Mission

The Academic Link, one of the great strengths of the university, “links” students to a wide array of accessible academic support services and innovative programs to help students in their pursuit of success and independent learning as they work towards achieving their academic as well as career goals.

The Link is guided by the Mission of the Office of Academic Support Services: to provide services and resources to students, faculty, and staff which will enhance student satisfaction, strengthen academic performance, and improve retention.
