Student Support

Transcript

We’re gonna hear from James, a Biomedical Science student from Flower Mound, Texas. From the moment James became a Tarleton student, he was connected with mentors who have helped guide his journey to ensure success. James, it’s all you.

– Thanks, Alex. What’s up, everyone? Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and that all starts with the proper education. While searching for the best college, I came across Tarleton and immediately knew that this was the right place for me. I was greeted with all kinds of student support. At Duck Camp, I had two Tarleton transition mentors who helped me build confidence and taught me all the traditions. When I started my first semester, I was assigned two more peer mentors who had the same major I had. My incredible mentors offered in depth solutions to all my questions and I really owe it to them for my accomplishments. Here at Tarleton, we have knowledgeable and understanding professors who strive for students not only to finish with the high grade, but also to completely understand the subject. Working with Tarleton professors has been a pleasure, and I know that they’re positioning me for success. In addition, we have many great resources to ensure each student’s success. Academically, we offer the Tutoring and Learning Center, Math and Science clinics, supplemental instruction, and much more. When it comes to paying for school, 85% of Tarleton students receive some sort of financial aid and we have over 500 scholarship opportunities. Over half of our student body is first generation and our Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and International programs offers resources that encourages an equitable, accessible, diverse, and inclusive campus culture. Tarleton is committed to making sure all students receive everything they need for the best college experience. I serve as a Tarleton transition mentor and peer mentor to give back the support that has helped me become successful. Tarleton student focus approach had made my experiences amazing, and I know that I’m prepared for my future and can handle any obstacle that comes my way. Thank you so much for listening to my story. Over to you, Alex.

– Thank you for sharing your story, James. You’re evidence that every Tarleton Texan can reach their full potential. But the real question is, how do I get some of those Duck Camp overalls? That was awesome. Take care.
