The Smart Start Program (SSP) is a retention initiative under The Office of Multicultural Student Services. A proven and unique program that serves First Year/First Generation WSU Students, Smart Start has assembled one of the most talented and qualified teams in the western United States. We provide a one-of-a-kind foundation; from which students can clearly identify growth needed to succeed and graduate. When you are selected for the program, your first-year experience is mentored by a Professional Higher Education Expert who is knowledgeable of the highs and lows transitioning into a University, provides information on helpful resources relevant to each student and monitors your academic performance.
