We are committed to helping all COS students achieve success.
The COS SSC is a comprehensive resource center for all science students. We promote student success by working closely with faculty, the Tomás Rivera Center, and the University Career Center to provide academic and career support.
Our professional and student staff love working with college students and understand the challenges that can arise during a student's science journey. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
