Welcome to the Student Support Services Learning Hub!
The Learning Hub provides you with the tools necessary to be successful in your college experience. Here at Student Support Services we believe that a student can grow educationally and personally; this view of the student as a whole is key in each of our activities. As a person, a student has many factors affecting their learning. They may be the smartest student, but, without proper guidance, their efforts are fruitless. There is more to college than just attending classes; you must fully immerse yourself in the experience.
To begin simply select one of the links to the left as it pertains to the area of immediate need for you. I am sure that you will enjoy the experience. Wherever personal or academic development is needed for you we can help through workshops, tutoring, advising, or mentoring. Please visit our offices at AWC in the Student Services Building, 142. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at (928) 344-7761.
