Have you heard about our new Trojan Postcard Project?! 📬 Any family members who attended Freshmen Orientation Impact Orientation this summer were invited to fill out a postcard for their student with a Polaroid 📸 of themselves on it. They also filled out postcards with inspirational messages for any students who may not have had a family member available to attend. We invite students to take and keep those postcards as a reminder of home 🏠 and to keep working hard in school 🏫…
AND orientation students can submit a picture of them holding their postcard for ATLAS credit! 🌎

What a special day we had welcoming Dr. John W. Schmidt, our Center’s namesake, and other distinguished guests to a luncheon and Open House where we took time to fellowship over lunch and reflect on where we’ve come from, and where we’re going. As we begin another busy fall semester serving our students at Troy, our team was honored to hear from Dr. Schmidt on his vision that began the Center for Student Success and from Dr. Hawkins who supported that vision. We hope to do this again in the future and include many others who have poured into our students at TROY.
Thank you for all who came and all who support our work in the JWS. ❤️ ⚔️Lauren Cole
