ROADS TO STUDENT SUCCESS:
THRIVE IN THE HIVE Delaware State University Office of Student Success Parent Newsletter
Greetings and Welcome to the Hive! Dr. Cassandra C. Green - Assistant Vice President (AVP) Greetings, Hornet Parents and Families! As the academic year came to a close, we had many exciting news and happenings in the Office of Student Success (OSS). In the semester’s final days, our Hornets were hard at work preparing for exams, final projects, and the realization of what is coming up next. Hornets finishing their first year realized that college is not high school, and these “professors” are not teachers! Sophomores began to realize the light at the end of the tunnel as they registered for courses for their junior year. Juniors progressed fast toward becoming seniors and acquiring summer internships that will result in career momentum and job placement. Lastly, our seniors progressed forward with a sense of pride and accomplishment having “walked across the stage.” In those final weeks of anticipated hopes, our dedicated OSS staff were busy keeping everything running to make sure student success happens. In this edition, you will hear from DSU students, from OSS personnel, and read highlights of academic programs and workshops aimed to destress, motivate, and empower all students to “finish strong.” Please be sure to catch up on the many exciting events in the Office of Student Success in this month’s newsletter. In closing, the OSS would like to congratulate our former Associate Vice President | OSS and founder of this newsletter, Dr. Jarso Jallah, who in February 2024 returned to her homeland, Liberia, to be its Minister of Education! Although we miss her fondly, we wish her all the best and continued success in her new purpose in life.
