            SMYRNA, Tenn. – The Student Success Center and the Library on Motlow’s Smyrna campus will offer services to help new and returning students perform at their best this semester.

The Student Success Center is ready to assist students in various ways. Individuals are standing by to help students choose their major, prepare for graduation, and register for classes. Academic coaching and advisement is also available. Completion coaches assist instructors when their students are performing poorly or not attending classes, speaking with the students to help find solutions for whatever issues they face.

 “Our goal is to help you reach your goals,” said Assistant Director of Student Success Sidney McPhee.
