In addition to our faculty, the college offers a range of student support services, including a Student Success Institute, academic advising, career counseling, a tutoring center, an Office of Special Needs, a student and cultural club center and, of course, a Financial Aid Office. Each year, Truman College awards more than $6 million in state and federal scholarships, grants, and tax deferments.
Truman is always working to improve both its facilities and service. In Fall of 2008, we began construction on a new parking deck and Student Services Center, which will not only give us more than 1,100 clean, well-lighted parking spaces, but allow us to consolidate student services and open up more classroom space in the main building as well. We remain on the forefront of technology in Chicago by offering the new Studio Classroom model in which all students in a class are connected to the Internet via laptops. The model appeals to visual, auditory, and tactile learning styles, bestows critical computer skills, and encourages working in groups.
Finally, by choosing Truman you have chosen a college dedicated to diversity and service. Our students come from more than 144 countries and speak approximately 103 languages, a fact we celebrate throughout the year with academic programs and cultural events. All the City Colleges of Chicago are dedicated to the philosophy of Service Excellence, that we provide a clean, safe environment and accurate information and that we treat students with courtesy and respect.
