A new Student Success Centre to open this September will integrate several important student services into a one-stop hub and allow McMaster to better help, advise and guide students.

The new Success Centre will support students from the time they consider McMaster and accept their offer to attend, through their years at the University as they make choices, deal with issues and improve skills that will prepare them for future success upon graduation.

Several student services previously found in various campus locations will be brought together in one central spot. The plan allows Student Affairs to build on its strengths, while integrating services and focusing on student success and enhanced experiences.

“Integrating these important services into a one-stop location improves student accessibility and allows students to get the help they need delivered in a way that's more convenient and user-friendly,” said Phil Wood, associate vice-president Student Affairs and dean of students. “The Centre will include new investments in technology to help better deliver services to students.”

Staff in the Centre will develop orientation programs, assist students with academic transition and preparedness at all levels, provide leadership/experiential development opportunities, deliver service learning and volunteer experiences (both locally and abroad), and offer career and employment services, including career groups, workshops and working abroad opportunities.

Programs that experience high student demand will be expanded and enhanced, including those in the areas of volunteerism, civic engagement and international studies.

The Student Success Centre will be located in Gilmour Hall 110.
