The center provides learning strategies and consultations to students that focus on learning styles, textbook strategies, note-taking skills, test preparation and test-taking strategies. Our Student Success Advisors are a critical part of the VUSN Student Success Center. Each VUSN student is assigned a Student Success Advisor. In their role, the Student Success Advisors provide support related to general study and test-taking skills, mentorship, and general academic coaching.
With VUSN faculty oversight, trained student mentors are responsible for facilitating group study and they provide study sessions reviewing class notes, lecture discussions and preparations for exams. Tutoring is available for select students who could benefit from significant, targeted academic support. The Student Success Advisors also assist students with academic goal setting, organizational skills and time management. Under the guidance of the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Alumni Relations, prelicensure students can benefit from mentoring from VUSN alumni through a dedicated mentoring program.
All VUSN students can utilize the Student Success Center. The Student Success Advisors can meet one-on-one or in group settings, with online support available when requested. In addition to the Student Success Center, VUSN students can utilize the wider Vanderbilt University support offerings, such as the Center for Student Wellbeing and Student Access.
