Ryan Jones has been a member of Student Support Services (SSS) since starting at Frostburg in 2011. He credits the financial assistance and academic advising from SSS for much of his success as a student, allowing him to hold several leadership roles on campus while maintaining a high GPA. As a current senior and recipient of SSS's "Contribution to College Life" award, Ryan says his SSS adviser Holly Clark has provided particularly valuable help and that he wishes he could visit the SSS office more often.

1. What SSS has done for me?
By Sophia E. Cooper
For this article, I interviewed SSS student Ryan Jones. Ryan has been a member of Student
Support Services since he arrived at Frostburg in 2011. He states that the financial assistance and
academic advising has vastly contributed to his successes as a student. Now as a senior, Mr. Jones is the
current recipient of the Student Support Service’s “Contribution to College life” award. He holds several
offices around campus. He is president of both the SSS Executive Board and the Student Communication
Studies Association. He also actively participates in NCNW, NAACP, and SGA while maintaining a
superior G.P.A. Ryan attributes much of his success to his adviser Holly Clark. He says , “Holly has always
helped me. I talk to her more than I do my other advisor. I love SSS and I wish I could stop by the office
more often.”
