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 and 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.
