Student Support Assistants (SSAs)
The SSA program was launched in the fall of 2024. SSAs at Valparaiso University play a crucial role in providing support and assistance to first-year students in their transition and acclimation to college. There is one SSA per floor in the first-year residence halls. SSAs engage in one-on-one conversations with students, host programs, serve as leaders and mentors in the community, and provide outreach and assistance to students experiencing challenges. SSAs work to connect first-year students with the programs and resources the University has to offer.
