Scholar Housing
Incoming Freshmen are housed in the Martin-Schexnider residence hall, while Continuing Students call Rams Commons their university home.Academic Advising
Freshman and Sophomore Scholars have a designated academic success counselor (ASC). The ASC serves as the first point of contact regarding academic advising issues, assists with course and curriculum choices, and supports Scholars through the timely completion of the General Education curriculum requirements of the university. Upon transition to a major program of study, students will be assigned a departmental advisor.Special Programs and Workshops
Scholars participate in professional and leadership development workshops, social/cultural events, and a variety of educational experiences to help prepare them for life after WSSU.Community Service and Engagement
WSSU’s motto, “Enter to Learn. Depart to Serve", provides the foundation for Atkins Scholars to become active participants in the surrounding community by promoting servant leadership models, while maintaining historical pride and the values from which the University was founded.
