Formed in the Fall of 1993 in the Schools of Allied Health Professions, Psychology, Social Work, Education, and Nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Supporting Academic Success Program is an educational, service delivery support model. The program incorporates the University's mission of teaching, research, and service in a collaborative effort with the Milwaukee Center for Independence. The Norris Health Center through Student Affairs is funding this project. The continuation of the program will be provided by grants in 1996.
