Success Navigators

Success Navigators are available on campus and online to help incoming students transition into college.

We understand that starting college can be overwhelming, so we’re here to provide an extra layer of support. Our team is a great point of contact for first-year students who have questions or concerns. We aim to help students navigate the M State system so they can be successful. First-year students can expect our team to reach out throughout the year to check in.

Ways we serve our students: 

  • Assist students with accessing resources so they are prepared to begin college
  • Keep students up to date with opportunities on and off campus to help them succeed
  • Assist students with career assessment and exploration to align their major with their interests and career goals
    • Start here! Access Code is "mstate"
  • Mentor students on how to navigate the college systems and processes including IT, paying for college, D2L (Online Learning Platform), and more

Students can always reach out to us at success-navigators@robynmcvey.com
or schedule an appointment at http://bookings.robynmcvey.com/success-navigators.
