A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR The Student Support Services Program (SSS) has experienced another outstanding year. We are pleased to present you with our 2011-2012 newsletter. In this edition we highlight our student success at the University of South Florida and beyond, including our current program participants and SSS alumni. Our partnership with various university, local, state, and national associations afforded leadership experiences for our students. Currently, 93% of our program participants are in good academic standing. I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter. We are “BULL-ISH” about student success!

SSS is a federally funded program that provides effective academic and personal support for a diverse population. The program is intended for first-time-in -college students who have been identified either as first-generation college students, as having low-income family status, or both. SSS is designed to significantly increase the retention and graduation rates of its participants. The program is committed to providing proactive, comprehensive, and innovative services to enhance our students’ success at USF. SSS provides a plethora of services, including: academic advising and monitoring, personalized individual and group counseling, computerized tutorial assistance program, computer lab, course registration, residential summer program, tutoring

services, financial aid assistance, SSS scholarship, social and cultural enrichment programs, and seminars that broaden career perspectives, improve academic skills, and promote self-confidence.

SSS STUDENT

SPOTLIGHT: EDUARDO FELIZ

While SSS has many outstanding students, Eduardo Feliz was chosen for this spotlight feature because of the consistent excellence he has demonstrated while at USF. Born in the Dominican Republic, Eduardo — or “Ed” as his friends call him — moved to Miami at the age of 4. Ed notes his biggest obstacle while growing up was dealing with his little sister constantly being in and out of the hospital, due to complications from sickle cell anemia. This experience led him to seek a career in the health field so he could help other families dealing with health crises. When admitted into USF through SSS, Ed was grateful for the opportunity to begin his college career with so much support. At the SSS summer orientation, Ed still remembers the best advice he received from SSS: “To this day, I can recall Mrs. Garth saying, ‘When the elevator to success fails, take the stairs.’ That advice always reminds me to never give up and keep working harder and harder every day.” Fast forward a few years and Ed is now a senior at USF majoring in Public Health, with a minor in Leadership Studies.

SSS senior student Eduardo Feliz is being spotlighted for his outstanding achievement as a USF student. Ed has overcome many life obstacles to achieve college success, and we salute him for representing the SSS mission so well!

In addition to his minor, Ed’s leadership skills have been further cultivated through his participation in a variety of campus and community organizations. On campus, Ed served as Secretary (2008-09) and President (2009-10) of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. In 2008, he also earned the National PanHellenic Council’s (NPHC) New Member Highest GPA award, which is evidence of Ed’s commitment to excellence in his academic pursuits. Notably, beginning in 2010 Ed was also selected to serve on the Circle of Student Advisors panel for the USF Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Jennifer Meningall. The

purpose of this group is to share the student perspective of campus life with Dr. Meningall so that student voices are included in the administration’s decision-making process. Ed feels honored to have been selected for this important role, and he takes seriously his responsibility to ensure student voices are heard by USF administrators. In addition to these on-campus activities, Ed also makes positive contributions to the local community. From 2008-10, Ed volunteered as the Assistant Head Coach of the Sulphur Springs Cowboys Football Team. Time constraints caused Ed to give up this volunteer position, but he enjoyed mentoring the young boys and using football as a way to teach them important life lessons about hard work, commitment, and perseverance. In 2010, Ed also volunteered with a Headstart Program called, “A Brighter Community” which again allowed him to offer mentoring to young people who look up to him as a successful college student. Ed was also selected by SSS as one of four students to represent USF in the Florida College Access Network (FCAN) Florida Student Educational Policy (FSEP) Conference. The delegation from USF focused on reforms to the financial aid system for their presentation. After presenting their recommendations, the USF delegation was then selected to present their ideas in front of Florida lawmakers and education leaders in Tallahassee (see page 5 for more details on the FCAN FSEP conference). Ed cites this conference as one of the most unique and rewarding experiences during his time at USF. (Continued on page 3)

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

During the Fall 2011 semester, Ed was honored to receive the USF Successful Latina/o Student Award. He enjoyed attending the award ceremony where he was able to connect and network with other successful students. As Ed looks forward to graduating this semester from USF, he reflects back on his time here: “SSS has made my college experience much less stressful. Not only has the program given me money, but they have also provided me with positive role models that have shown me the right way to do things. My definition of success is fulfilling the goals you’ve set while constantly striving to become a better person. Success is a combination of short and long term goals and always evolving as one goes through life. Therefore, SSS has certainly helped me find success.” ...continued from page 2

SSS strongly encourages its students to give back to the program, the USF campus, and the local community. Toward that end, Ed offers the following piece of advice to other USF students: “Do not take your college years for granted; they will be over in the blink of an eye. Use them as tools for growth; strive to get better everyday! Even if it is something as simple as organizing belongings or doing tasks in a timely fashion, strive to get better! One of the things that keeps me going everyday is my insatiable drive to become better as a person. Be it in the classroom, office, or personal relationships, I want to get better everyday. If you’re not growing as a person, then what are you really doing?” Good advice from a successful student. SSS salutes outstanding senior Eduardo Feliz for his academic and personal achievements! CAMPUS QUOTES: HOW HAS SSS HELPED YOU TRANSITION INTO USF? WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT/USEFUL PIECE OF ADVICE YOU HAVE GOTTEN FROM SSS?

Matthew Ogla, Freshman, Biomedical Sciences: “SSS has deeply affected my life. This program has altered me from a young irresponsible high schooler to a young responsible, active man. My counselor has been a blessing in my life. And I thank God that He placed me with this group of people. I hope my younger brother will be placed into this program, too.” Jennifer Fielder, Freshman, Psychology: “SSS has been the greatest experience for me while attending USF. Between the seminars, help with writing, and providing us resources to make sure we succeed, I believe that I got the most out of these two semesters so far. Thank you for your hard work!” Anthony Morales, Freshman, Pre-Engineering: “SSS has everything that an incoming freshman needs. They have

advisors, computer labs, and great people.” Knakeera Bason, Sophomore, Finance: “SSS has given me a great sense of guidance throughout my initial years of attending USF. They inspired me to keep progress in my grades and kept me on track with my strengths and academic necessities. SSS is a program where students can find the power to succeed in his or her academic goals.” Peyton McCoy, Sophomore, Pre-

Athletic Training: “SSS has helped push me to better myself. I would not be this confident about applying to such a hard major without the support from SSS.”

Bernite Lorimaire, Freshman, Biology: “SSS has helped me to stay focused and also motivated me to become a more wellrounded person.”

Wendy Malagon, Freshman, Pre-Nursing: “SSS has been so inspiring and motivational. After every seminar I was reminded of all the hard work that our counselors put forth in order for us to succeed and it reminds me how lucky I am to be in such a great program.”

Traicia Constant, Freshman, Accounting: “The SSS program has helped me by providing me with a group of supportive adults that I can turn to, whether it is to talk about my academics, my personal life, or just to brighten my day. They also provide us with a computer lab that we can use to complete our class work.” Katie Garcia, Sophomore, International Studies: “SSS has helped me make a smooth transition into college, and has provided me valuable advice and information. They have helped me begin on my road to success. Thank you!”

SPECIAL UPDATE: SSS STUDENTS PROPOSED FINANCIAL AID REFORMS IN TALLAHASSEE

SSS partnered with Florida College Access Network (FCAN) and it’s Executive Director, Mr. Braulio Colon. As a result, a group of SSS students were selected to represent USF in the Florida Student Education Policy (FSEP) conference. The FSEP conference was facilitated by FCAN and held in Orlando in February

2011. The FSEP conference involved sixty-five students representing nine universities and two state colleges. The students studied and debated education reforms in the state of Florida. A group of four SSS students were chosen for the conference: Eduardo Feliz, Jacob Jackson,

Antonio Morales, and Muhammad Shakir. The delegation from USF focused on reforms to the financial aid system. Utilizing support from the FCAN office and the SSS staff, the students prepared a presentation with specific policy recommendations for improving financial aid for college —

especially for middle-income and low-income students. After presenting their recommendations, State Senator Gary Siplin was so impressed by their research and proposals he invited them to speak in the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee in Tallahassee during the March 2011 Legislative Session. While in

Tallahassee, the USF delegation also got the chance to meet State Senator Arthenia Joyner, Representative Clay Ingram, Representative Janet Adkins (not pictured), Representative Charles Chestnut IV (not pictured), and Representative Keith Perry (not pictured). Congratulations on your successful presentation!

SSS STUDENT WINS PRIZE IN MICROSOFT COMPETITION Aneika Stephenson is a senior USF student who participated in SSS during her freshman and sophomore years. According to Aneika, “SSS has been very important on a personal and academic level. During my first summer I remember being told the friends you make in SSS are the ones you'll most likely stick with throughout your time at USF. That has been the case for me, the people I met during the summer of 2008 are the friends I still have today. My Counselor Ms. Thomas has been particularly key. She's always been there with advice or guidance as needed. I can't tell you how valuable her opinions have been when I have a million things bouncing around in my head. I hope all SSS students take advantage of the Counselors, outside of mandatory appointments, because they're excellent resources and genuinely want to see us progress and do well at USF and beyond.” Until last semester, Aneika, an Electrical Engineering major, had never coded an app for a smartphone. However, Mr. Reggie Lucien, from the Honors College, shared information about the Microsoft Competition with SSS. And when Aneika’s SSS Counselor told her about the competition that included a series of free classes being held on campus to teach application development, she decided to check it out.

grocery list and find coupons. In the future, she hopes to further develop it to integrate coupons into the shopping list and expand options for vegans and vegetarians. “I hope to make shopping and saving money easier for people,” Stephenson said. “Especially for mothers, students, and people who don't have the time to spend hours clipping coupons. In college, it's really important for college students to save money.” Stephenson ended up being one of four students to win a campus contest for Windows smartphone app development. In February, she and the others met with Microsoft representatives at the Loews Don Cesar Hotel on St. Pete Beach to show off the apps they developed from scratch. At this meeting, Aneika also had the wonderful pleasure of meeting with Mr. Robert Youngjohns, president of Microsoft for North America. From all reports, Mr. Youngjohns seemed very interested in Aneika’s app and how it could be evolved to support real time coupon scenarios. After this positive experience, Aneika now looks forward to participating in other app development competitions, such as the Imagine Cup, a world-wide student technology contest for Windows software and game design.

“I went and was a bit skeptical at first because I'd never done any kind of coding before but I realized you didn't have to have any kind of coding experience,” Stephenson said. “They teach you.” The students had a variety of coding experience. Some, like Stephenson, had never coded an app and others had coded apps for Android and iPhones. Once she learned basic coding, she conceptualized an app called “Nifty Shopper” to help shoppers organize a

Aneika is grateful to SSS for informing her about the Microsoft competition and for offering her support while she worked on developing the app. SSS is also encouraging other students to participate in these competitions as well, since no prior experience is needed and the competitions are open to all majors. And Aneika offers advice for students who are considering entering these types of competitions: “Never shoot down an idea because it seems crazy or complex. Many feasible concepts arise from ideas that appear to be far-fetched in the beginning. At the same time, don't over think it. Think of a problem you have in your everyday life and look for ways to solve it. If its something you find problematic on a consistent basis, chances are others are having the same issue.” When asked about her thoughts on success, Aneika responded, “Success is defined by so many different things that I can't pinpoint an exact definition for it. I do know there are certain goals I hope to achieve. I would love to attain stability and balance in all aspects of life, though it seems impossible at times. Ultimately, whatever level of ‘success’ I'm able to reach, I want to make sure I always remain humble and grateful and never take anything for granted. Congratulations to Aneika Stephenson for representing SSS and USF so well in the Microsoft competition. You are a shining example of the positive contributions that SSS students make to our community!

SSS SPECIAL AWARDS CEREMONY In November 2011, SSS held a special awards ceremony to honor students with outstanding academic achievement. Freshman and sophomore students with the highest GPAs were given awards to highlight their achievements. Students with the highest GPAs were given Xbox 360 video game systems as a way to reward their hard work in college. Students with the next highest GPAs received SSS scholarships to help reduce their loan debt from financial aid. And then the remaining students with high GPAs were given beautiful Certificates of Achievement to proudly display and share with their families. Two special awards were also given at the awards ceremony: Most Improved and Perseverance. For Most Improved, the SSS Counselors chose a student who had shown tremendous improvement in her academics and had increased her motivation level for success. For the Perseverance Award, the SSS Counselors chose a student who has overcome significant personal hardships in order to achieve success in college. The recipients of these two special awards were given unique glass trophies that they can display as a reminder of the adversity they have successfully overcome. Congratulations to the outstanding students of SSS at USF...we are proud of your ability to stay focused and motivated, even in the face of challenging life circumstances!

AN SSS SUCCESS STORY: OVERCOMING THE ODDS

Dear Ms. Garth, I am currently a senior at the University of South Florida majoring in journalism. When I applied to USF in 2008, I was rejected and referred to Student Support Services. At the time I felt less than worthy of attending a university. After my experiences in SSS, I gained confidence, an understanding of the university and a strong support system. I would like to personally commend Mr. Shawn Moore for his outstanding performance as my counselor for two years. He was consistently happy, caring and interested in me as a person and a student. He held me to high standards that I had never been held to before and was concerned when I did not meet them. I attribute my time with the program to my success at the university. I was in the Herd of Thunder marching band for three years, Student Government Senate and BullServe. I am currently in the Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, Phi Kappa Pi Honor Society, Phi Theta Sigma Honor Society, College of Arts and Sciences National Honor Society, the National Society of Leadership and Success and next semester I will be the president of the Society of Professional Journalists USF Chapter. I believe that my experiences, extended orientation, support and friends from SSS in 2008 was the building block to my successful college career. I just wanted to let you know how important SSS was to me. This summer I will be interning at two locations locally, if there is a need or an opportunity I would love to speak to the next generation of SSS students about how important and useful this experience is for them. Thank you for your time and support, Rachel Kaylor University of South Florida, Mass Communications Journalism (August 2011 Graduate)

SSS ALUMNI UPDATE Dear Mr. Moore, How are you? Its Axel Angeles, I am emailing you to say hello, and give you an update. I apologize for not keeping in touch sooner, its has been a roller coaster ride last year after my Mom passed away. Currently, I am getting a Master's Degree in Security and Diplomacy in Israel. I attend Tel Aviv University. The other program I applied for was cancelled, but I am very happy to be in the program. It’s only for a year, and it's really interesting to be here in the Middle East. Although I have been here various times, its different when you live here. Thank you for the letters of recommendations, I wouldn't be here without your help. It is getting intense here though, with the Protests in Egypt. Hopefully it doesn't escalate to something really bad. After I graduated from USF, I interned for Senator Bill Nelson in the Ft. Lauderdale office, and I worked full time at a telemarketing job for AT&T. It was a crazy experience, but it gave me a reality check. Then, I traveled to South America for the summer, and it was awesome. I was able to go to the Inca Ruins in Peru (Machu Pichu) and visit Venezuela. Everything is going well so far. As for Law School, I decided it was not the right path for me. Anyway, I hope that you’re doing well and that everything is going great for you. Again, I am sorry for not keeping in touch sooner. Say hello to Mrs. Garth and Mr. Glover for me! I am happy USF is getting better and better as time goes by. Go Bulls! I will keep in touch. I am attaching some photos so you can see where I've been. Best regards, Axel Angeles Class of 2006
