For College of Charleston business students, success starts at the School of Business’ Student Success Center (SSC). And – thanks to donor support – the newly remodeled center can take that success to the next level.
“I am grateful to our Board of Governors for investing in career readiness for our students,” says Alan Shao, dean of the School of Business, noting that the school’s donors and Board of Governors have championed the SSC since the initiative was first conceived. “Their early support of the Student Success Center set in motion an impactful resource for everyone in the School of Business.”
Located in the Beatty Center for the School of Business, the Student Success Center has been supporting business students through career education, experiential learning and job placement since 2014. And, after a state-of-the-art renovation backed by dedication and donor support, the newly polished Student Success Center now presents as a modern, professional and inspiring space that invites student engagement as well as new and exciting services that produce excellence in our future business leaders and changemakers.
“We wanted to be able to deliver innovative services in a more inspirational and modern facility,” says Kristen McMullen, director of the SSC, adding that the new space features hardwood flooring, updated ceiling fixtures, a podcast studio and a new “Wall of Information” that displays resources for visitors. “This would not have been possible without the support and dedication of our Board of Governors and donors who share and support the vision of developing well-rounded business professionals.”
And now that support has taken everyone in the school to the next level.
