SOUTH BOSTON, Va. â The Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) is continuing to help people in southern Virginia transform their lives by providing access to a wide variety of educational opportunities and assisting them every step of the way.
In order to remove every barrier to a studentâs success that they can, the center has formed a new office to provide centralized support services for students, the Office of Learner Success and Engagement (OLSE). Incorporating a one-stop shop concept, a student can seek assistance from the time they are interested in a program until they graduate.Â
âFrom the time a student is interested in a program until they complete a program and are seeking employment, they can come to us,â said Meagan Owen, SVHEC Coordinator of Learner Success. âIf they need program information. If they need literacy support services. If they have personal issues that are standing in the way of them completing the program. Whatever
