The Center for Institutional, Faculty and Student Success was created as a resource and a place for the encouragement and support for teaching at all levels, and for the success of student learning. The Center works to advance the quality of education at VCOM by providing faculty with resources, programs and support that promote excellence in teaching. The Center also provides students with additional resources to address issues that may be impeding their progress, from academic to personal issues. The Center believes that the success of students is the responsibility of the College as a whole, and as such, the College will use student learning outcomes to guide future programs with the Center. The Center offers counseling services, academic assistance, academic advising and peer tutoring in order to help students excel in national board exams.
