Crunch Time!



Hello,

The last half of Winter term is here and it is easy to get stressed out about the idea of your courses coming to an end. During this time of the term especially it is likely that you are worrying about getting your homework turned in while balancing class projects.  Even if you are not having these feelings yourself there is a good chance that some of your classmates are.  This is a perfect opportunity to take some time and remember why you are here at UCC.  Moments like this are what separate those who truly want to achieve success from those who are here just to get by for awhile.  Success is typically not easy. However, the more work and effort that you put into it the greater the reward is in the end.  As we finish up these last few weeks, I ask that you not only find what motivates you to continue fighting for success but that you also encourage others to do the same.

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”


We will be adding four new faces to the success team: Michelle Raygoza, Kasey Barrackman, Tanner Mecham, and Mariah Wade.  If you see a new face behind the desk in the Success Center please take some time to introduce yourself and welcome them to our team.


There are many encouraging conversations and comments happening around campus and our community as to how important the services are that the Success Center provide. These services promote great success to our student body and to the future of our community.  I am excited to hear from the students that we serve, that we are going above and beyond their expectations.  I personally get great satisfaction from hearing these great things from our student body and I want to thank all of the employee's in the Success Center for creating a positive and supportive environment for our students to grow.  Keep up all the great work!
