Student Programs Merge to Form the New Center for Academic Excellence
In an effort to better serve Truman students and to better coordinate student success initiatives and first-year advising, effective July 1, New Student Programs and the Student Success Center will be merged into a new entity: the Center for Academic Excellence.
Taking on the current missions of New Student Programs and the Student Success Center, the Center for Academic Excellence is charged with offering programs and services that allow all Truman students to reach their academic potentials. The newly formed Center will be led by Jack Holcomb. Holcomb is currently the interim director of the Student Success Center. Previously, Holcomb was an academic advisor in New Student Programs.
The creation of the Center for Academic Excellence required no new budget dollars. While the director of the Center for Academic Excellence is a new position, the director of the Student Success Center was eliminated.
All of the advisors in New Student Programs have been transferred to the Center for Academic Excellence. There has been no net increase in the number of employees.
