Student Support Services Mission Statement
The mission of Student Support Services at Indiana University East advances the overall campus mission by promoting educational opportunity for first generation, economically disadvantaged and disabled students. The program exists to assist each of its students in the development of innate abilities which will lead to success in college and fulfillment of the student's own personal and academic goals. Using a holistic approach, the staff seeks to acknowledge the uniqueness of each individual, project an unconditional positive regard for each participant, and foster the development of survival skills which will lead to success both in college and throughout life. In addition to academic and personal growth, the Program staff advocates acquisition of leadership skills which will allow its participants to pass on to others what they have received through their college and Student Support Services experiences.
