CULTURAL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES: Student Support Services participants have opportunities to participate in activities that are designed to enhance their educational, social, personal, and cultural awareness. Students are exposed to plays, concerts, museums, theater events, and other activities that will assist them in the pursuit of becoming well-rounded individuals.

CAREER SEMINARS: Career seminars are held throughout the year to expose students to the many options that exist and how they can best prepare for the careers of their choice. Additionally, students receive information on how they can best apply their college majors and personal interests in the career-search process.

EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS: Educational seminars are held throughout the year to enhance the educational experience of program participants. Past seminars have included Time Management, Report Writing, Motivation & Goal Setting, Test Anxiety, Reading Comprehension & Note Taking, and Improving Study Skills.

4-YEAR COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY TOURS: In an effort to provide our students with a mechanism for selecting bachelor degree granting schools, college and university tours are sponsored by the SSS program. During these tours, participants are given information on the respective bachelor degree offerings and are provided information essential to the application and matriculation processes. This includes admission criteria, financial assistance, and opportunities to meet faculty who offer insight into the distinctions of their departments. Examples of past tours include visits to North Carolina A&T State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C. State University and the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
