ASC Staff
The Academic Success Center staff proudly serves Pitt-Johnstown with a commitment to meeting the diverse needs of students. Every student possesses a unique set of skills and strengths that can be used to define his or her paths to personal and academic success. Our role is to empower and guide students on that journey.
The Director and Academic Counselors provide leadership for ASC services and serve as academic advisors to students who have not selected a major, counselors for GOALS (Gaining Opportunities through Academic Leadership and Success)聽and the First-Year Success Program (FYSP), and instructors for Major and Career Planning (I4 for undeclared students)聽and Foundations of Learning (CAS).聽 Additionally, the front desk staff of the ASC is comprised of fellow students who welcome guests to the center, assist with directions and questions, and provide a friendly face.
Participating in the multiple and varied aspects of the ASC鈥檚 programs allows staff to cultivate relationships with most Pitt-Johnstown students. Getting to know the stories of our students contributes to our successful outcomes across the Center鈥檚 services.
