Student Support Services

Student Support Services is a college persistence and retention program for current and incoming IRSC students that is focused on individual participant needs. It promotes self-advocacy and leadership and provides academic, cultural, career–oriented and social activities to help students. Students are encouraged to explore their personal talents and abilities, and along the way they gain confidence, develop a vision for their lives, set highest standards and aspire to academic and personal excellence. They learn to utilize the full range of campus resources and to develop a sense of community and social responsibility.

Student Support Services is a federally funded TRIO program and is free-of-charge to eligible IRSC students.
