The Heckman Center: Building Student Success

Hello, and welcome to the Heckman Center in the Wahlstrom Library on the second floor at University of Bridgeport Connecticut. The Heckman Center is a community of professionals committed to providing a holistic student development experience. The center offers resources and opportunities that foster academic, personal, social, and professional growth in an inclusive environment. The Heckman Center on the second floor of Wahlstrom Library is a distinctive educational approach that combines academic and co-curricular programs. The purpose of this unique concept is for students to connect education to careers while they pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees. The Heckman Center’s open floor design and welcoming environment, make it a one-stop destination for these support services that enhance student success. The way we enhance student success is through our four earning outcomes. They are…

• students will be able to identify resources to empower them to take ownership of their education
• students will be able to recognize there is an inclusive space dedicated to student success
• students will be able to demonstrate academic, social, personal, and professional growth
• students will be able to persist in their education from enrollment through graduation

We want to take this moment to thank the Heckman family for their contribution to the Heckman Center.
