Success Series
Launchpad's Success Series is designed to further support new students with their adjustment and transition into college life. We partner and collaborate with departments and resources to provide first-year students with tools to be successful at Tech!
This series of programs focus on academic success, self improvement, development opportunities on- and off-campus, and preparing students to graduate "Career Ready". Not only do these events support your transition to college life, many of them count towards the Gold Career Readiness Certificate awarded through the Center for Career Development.
For more information or questions regarding the Launchpad's Success Series, please contact Tenika Burgess, assistant director and success coach, at TNBurgess@tntech.edu or (931) 372-6850.
