Student Testimonials

"Student Success has played a significant role in transforming my academic journey by helping me develop effective study habits and staying on track. The personalized assistance extended by this program has not only introduced me to various school resources but has also empowered me to improve significantly in my academics. Their commitment to fostering a sense of belonging beyond academics makes me feel truly connected to the Pitt community."

"Going to Student Success helped me organize my tasks, especially when it came to planning out long-term assignments. They also demystified my superstitions about reaching out for help by directly connecting me with a UTA for a course I was taking for my major.

Overall, I am better off because of this resource. I still build on my day-to-day habits and tools that I learned in Student Success."
