About Us
Welcome to the Vacca Office of Student Services (VOSS)
Welcome to the Vacca Office of Student Services (VOSS). As an office, we offer a wide variety of services and support for all of our prospective, current, and past students. Whether it's an advisor helping you think about and reach your goals, a program specialist working behind the scenes to make sure your progression to graduation or licensure is smooth, or a clinical experience specialist working with schools to help teacher education majors get placements, the VOSS team plays an important role in supporting you as a student.
Our office is named for Dr. Richard Vacca and Dr. Jo Anne Vacca, professors emeriti of the College of Education, Health and Human Services (EHHS), who devoted their careers to literacy education and wanted to support student success within EHHS.
We hope you visit us often and learn about ways to make the most of your time in EHHS. And we wish you much success in your academic and professional journey!
