Amber Williams | Vice Provost for Student Success

“Students will find academic support, strengths coaching, career services and program offices all under one roof. This will not only be efficient for students but also allow them to collaborate and engage with other students as well as faculty and staff who support their academic, wellness and career journey.”

“But the new piece – the real magic – is how the building will provide space for radical collaboration, where inquiry, academic support, strengths coaching and curiosity collide, creating a powerful synergy that will elevate every student’s experience.”
