Mentor Meetings in the Tutoring Center
The mentoring program is a new project for Student Support Services. Mentors are students in their second year at ICC and must maintain a 2.5 GPA. They are willing to meet and help new students navigate their college and academic life. The Mentors and Mentees are asked to fill out a survey about themselves, and then a committee matches them. Those wishing to join as a mentor or a mentee need to contact Breta Campus or Jess Gross in the Tutoring Center. Mentor meetings are held on Tuesday from 6-7 pm in the Tutoring Center. Food is provided and our team of mentors is available to help lead you to success.

On April 5th, Allen Shockley held a demonstration on severe weather. Mr. Shockley used a fish tank
and food coloring for his simulation of what happens when a cold front meets a warm front. He also
discussed the dangers of tornadoes and safety precautions to take. Mr. Shockley also informed the
students of what actions to take while on campus if a tornado were in the area.
On Tuesday, April 18, 2017, Student Support Services held their annual Spring Recognition Ceremony at
ICC West. The students were recognized for graduating from ICC and maintaining a GPA of 2.5 and
above. Special recognition was given to the student with the most hours in the Tutoring Center, most
polite, positive attitude, sense of humor, encouraging to others, and most helpful. In addition,
recognition was given to the ICC Tutoring Center Peer Tutors. The 2017 Spirit of Trio Award was given
to Mary Bailey, Bluffstone General Manager. Speakers for this event were Taylor Crawshaw, Associate
Dean of Academic Support Services, Breta Campus, SSS Director, and guest speaker Cody Westerhold,
