We’re excited to announce that UW-Stout’s Advisement Center is now the Blue Devil Achievement Center, a name that reflects our expanded commitment to student success.
Why the Change?
UW-Stout has seen record retention rates, including 78.9% for the fall 2023 cohort, thanks to initiatives like enhanced advising, first-year experience programs and cutting-edge student success strategies. The Achievement Center builds on this success by unifying key services to support students academically, personally and professionally.
What Does the Achievement Center Offer?
- Peer Mentoring and Coaching: New students are connected with a current Stout student, so they can ask what life “is really like” at college.
- Student Success Coaching: Coaches provide proactive, personalized support to help students overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
- Tutoring Services: Expanded on-campus and virtual tutoring, so students can get the help they need, when they need it.
What This Means for Your Student
The Achievement Center represents a shift from first-year traditional advising to a more holistic student success model. By combining advising with mentoring, coaching, and tutoring, we create a supportive environment that empowers students throughout their college journey. Our goal is simple: to help every Blue Devil succeed and graduate ready for the future.
