We have several programs! Every first-year student must complete a First Year Experience course which will help guide the student in the college transition. Out Student Success Center assists students in developing time management, organization and study skills, to name a few. Our TRiO program is similar, but it geared at assisting first-generation college students. Check out www.shepherd.edu/studentaffairs and www.shepherd.edu/trio for more information!
