Student Support

Transcript

Let’s talk about TU’s wraparound student support with junior Madison from St. Louis, Missouri. She’s a Computer Science and Cybersecurity major with a minor in Math. The University of Tulsa has invested in student success coaches and other staffers who shepherd undergraduates through a sometimes daunting journey. Show us the way, Madison.

– Hello, y’all, and thank you for the fantastic introduction, Alex. Picking a college was a daunting task for me and balancing academics, costs, community, and simply finding a place that felt like home was important to me. I decided on the University of Tulsa and fell in love with the small university. With TU’s renowned Engineering & Natural Sciences Department, small class sizes, amicable professors, and general uplifting atmosphere, I knew this was the perfect fit for me. I took full advantage of TU’s Tutoring Center. The peer tutors really helped me when I was struggling in a class and they explained things to me in an easy-to-digest manner, which allowed me to excel. The Career Development Office prepared me with tips and tricks to ace an interview with a Fortune 500 company and helped me to put my best foot forward. With student success coaches, Peer Mentors, and career and financial wellness coaches, students always feel supported and prepared for life after college. Also, the mental health resources available on campus make it easy to see how much TU cares about its students and their wellbeing. Because of the support I received here at TU, I was able to score an internship at a Fortune 500 company as a sophomore, get involved on campus, and make memories for a lifetime. I’ll throw it back to you, Alex.

– Internships as sophomores? That’s incredible! It’s all part of TU’s goal to make sure students are able to get a great job in their field or admitted to a top notch graduate school after completing their bachelor’s degree. We can’t wait to see where you land, Madison. Thanks again for sharing your story.
