The goals of the WTCS Student Success Center are to improve completion rates and student outcomes, support the development of student-centered pathways at our colleges, and continue expanding our community to better share information and best practices for serving students. The WTCS Student Success Center is led by both the Associate Vice Presidents for Instructional Services (Chrystal Seeley-Schreck) and Student Success (Christina Lorge).
