OFFICE OF STUDENT SUCCESS!
We understand that students may encounter obstacles or difficulties associated with
college life—academic, financial, personal, interpersonal, or wellness—or simply seek
connection and support. Like the many amazing offices here at AMDA, the Office of
Student Success is designed to address the holistic needs of our students.
Each AMDA student is assigned a Student Success Advisor who will provide guidance and
support in exploring campus resources, connecting to services, preparing for a career,
looking for a sense of belonging, and so much more. We can't wait to see what we can do
for you!
