Orientation

ExCEL Student Success Program

Texas A&M University’s Excellence uniting Culture, Education, and Leadership (ExCEL) Student Success Program is a student organization and student support program housed in the Department of Multicultural Services. ExCEL focuses on freshman students by helping them discover the academic, social, and personal balance necessary to facilitate their success at Texas A&M University and beyond. ExCEL has helped build a sense of community by assisting freshmen in making a smooth transition from high school to college.

ExCEL kicks-off with a two-day orientation conference, held the weekend before fall classes begin, familiarizing participants with the program and life at Texas A&M University. Following the orientation conference, bi-monthly developmental workshops and social activities begin and continue through the close of the spring semester. These workshops have a variety of educational and developmental goals, including, but not limited to: improving study and time management skills; developing and clarifying academic and personal objectives; fostering an inclusive and supportive environment; adjusting to institutional culture; and nurturing lasting friendships from students of the same, as well as differing cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
