UCAN – “Unlocking College Academics Now”
UCAN听helps students facing a first academic suspension听improve their grade point average and thereby continue their education. The program meets this goal by helping these students identify their individual academic needs and then develop skills to meet their academic goals. To meet these goals, the 网曝门N program (supported by the Student Success Services) offers students the opportunity to remain in school during their first suspension, rather than sitting out two consecutive semesters.
Student Success Coordinator and Program Director – Mr. Marvin Williams (marvinw@uca.edu)

The deadline to participate in the spring program has passed. Information about the fall program coming soon.

I hope you are doing well. I am a former 网曝门N participant at the University of Central Arkansas. I wanted to reach out to let you know how BLESSED I was to have you as an advisor during that time. 网曝门N taught me a plethora of tools and resources that helped me not only graduate from 网曝门 but thrive as a professional. I am proud to say I now听work in听Student Success and Retention at Morgan State University. When giving my testimony, I often refer to you, Mr. Williams, as a quintessential reason I made a听shift in my approach to听education. I needed someone with your energy, charisma, and overall kindness.听

First off, I want to say thank you! I bet you鈥檙e wondering why? I am one of your 网曝门N seminar students from 2010 at 网曝门. I wanted to email you to tell you how much I appreciate your leadership in the 网曝门N program.听You told me week after week 鈥測ou can鈥� when I was failing all of my classes. That program gave me a second chance to push through and finish my degree. I can now say I have a Bachelor鈥檚 of Science degree as well as a Master鈥檚 of Arts in Teaching. I have been听teaching high school and middle school science for 5 years now and today I start my Doctorate of Education program. As I reflected on my journey of when I was a single mother and a struggling college student, you were one of the men in my life that told me听I could do it. So I did it, Mr. Williams!
UPDATE: I finished the Doctor of Educational Leadership program and had commencement over the weekend. Throughout the program, I kept your words of encouragement in the back of my head- YOU CAN!

Thank you for reaching out! The 网曝门N program helped me realize that I needed to step back and re-evaluate what I was doing. I took time off school and worked as a server. I’m currently on my way to take my final exam for the last class of my Associates degree, which I am transferring to Winthrop University in South Carolina to finish my Bachelors! The 网曝门N program really gave me a wake up call to really look at where I was in life and what I needed to do to better myself. Thank you!!
