Participation is the cornerstone of Project Success.  We offer many activities throughout the year.  Points are assigned to each activity in our area plus working with tutors in the Tutoring & Writing Center.  Our activities may include using our study area, computer lab, attending cultural events, workshops, college visits as well as seeing one’s counselor regularly.
