What Participants Say About SOS:
“Without SOS I would have definitely missed out on a lot of important information as well as guidance academically this semester. I really appreciated it.”
“I'm thankful for my mentor; she has been great and very supportive, and has motivated me through the semester. I always looked forward to my weekly meetings. This program has helped me realize that I can succeed and do well in school. I'm glad that UNCC offers this kind of program for students who need help. I just hope more people use it and are aware of the program. It has made a difference in my academic performance.”
“It's a great program that I would recommend to anyone having trouble with their GPA."
