Wichita State University's Shocker Success Center brings together dozens of student
support functions in a single, welcoming space conveniently located in the heart of
campus.
Navigating college can be hard, but the transition is made easier with one-on-one
mentorship — an individual paired with new Shockers to help them feel more at home
and connected at Wichita State.
Mentoring is free for students and is a major contributor to academic and social success
in college.
If you don't see your college listed below, not to worry — there are plentiful resources
to help you succeed. The best way to get started is to connect with OneStop Student Services for guidance, or check out all the services now housed in WSU's new Shocker Success
Center.
