STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER
The Student Success Center (SSC) provides academic and career support service for all ACM students. The SSC is located on the ground floor of Manning Hall at the Aix-en-Provence campus. Students studying in other locations have remote access to these services.
- Services provided by the SSC include:
- peer-tutoring across all core subjects and courses
- career counseling and support
- graduate school application support
- writing and research skills support
- Examples of SSC Activities:
- individual meetings with the SSC Director
- workshops targeting particular student interests: careers in wine, diplomacy, art; resume writing and interview skills; writing and research
- general workshops and events for the entire student population (e.g. Election Night Event)
- individual meetings with peer-tutors
Career Services
The Student Success Center provides dedicated and comprehensive Career Services to all ACM and IAU study-abroad students. Each semester, the SSC offer 4-5 expert-led lunchtime workshops. These workshops focus either on the skills and know-how needed to excel in particular career paths (e.g. foreign service, international business, wine and gastronomy, fashion, art, etc.), or on the general competencies required to succeed in any career (targeted job searching, resume and cover letter writing, interviewing).
In addition, SSC staff are available by appointment throughout the academic year to: individually advise students on choosing careers, review resumes and cover letters, and prepare students for interviews. ACM is an international institution, and as such individual sessions are tailored not only to a student’s choice of career, but also to their choice of country. Currently, the SSC is able to provide country specific career advice for the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
Digital Library
In addition to ACM’s two library spaces, students can also benefit from ACM’s open-access and subscription-based digital resources. These resources complement the physical collections of our libraries, offering students and faculty convenient access to a wide range of academic journals, e-books, and databases across all disciplines.
