Student Success Center

The Student Success Center is a new learning center dedicated to helping SHU students and young students from the surrounding region achieve success in their educational pursuits. The Student Success Center focuses on enhancing student learning, testing, and achievement. The Center for Teaching and Learning provides students with tutoring for their academic program. There will be professional tutors and student tutors to help students in math, writing, and the natural sciences. The Office of Special Services provides support and accommodations for students who need specific help with learning. There is also a laboratory for literacy where graduate students in Education provide tutoring in reading to children in the Bridgeport Public School System. Finally, the Office of Global Affairs promotes the internationalization of the University. The Student Success Center is on the corner of St. Nicholas Road and Park Avenue, directly adjacent to the President’s residence. Designed to resemble a large, stately residence, it has a stone veneer on the lower levels to match existing stone retaining walls, brick on the second story, and a gabled half-story space at the top. The structure resembles the SHU Wellness Center in physical character.
