The Wintrode Student Success Center is a hub for student success at SDSU. Students express that Wintrode Center peer tutoring, peer mentoring, and Supplemental Instruction support their success, but there is high demand for these support services. We are raising $2,500 to hire more peer educators in an effort to improve student outcomes.
The Wintrode Student Success Center’s focus is on the student, beginning with their transition to campus as a new Jackrabbit and supporting them throughout their college experience as they prepare for their chosen profession. Our mission is to help students succeed by supporting their academic and personal development. We believe everyone's story begins when given the opportunity to succeed. To this end, students receive support from an authentic team of tutors, mentors, advisors, and staff committed to helping them achieve their dreams.
Opening its doors in fall of 2007, the Wintrode Student Success Center at South Dakota State University features the Wintrode Tutoring and SI Program, the First Year Advising Center, Early Alert, and the Academic Success and Recovery Program. In 10 years of operation, center usage has increased by nearly 300%.
The increase in usage presents challenges with meeting demand; some students wait several weeks to meet with a peer educator. Sponsor a Peer Educator will help us hire additional peer tutors, peer mentors, or SI Leaders to ensure that services are more readily available to SDSU students. Achieving our goal of $2,500 will open 250 additional hours of peer support. A $100 donation will sponsor 10 hours of peer educator support, and a $10 donation will sponsor one hour of support.
