It is conveniently located next to the Askew Student Life Building in the heart of campus. The Dunlap Student Success Center was made possible by the generosity of Albert and Judith Dunlap.

Wetherell; Vice President of Student Affairs Mary Coburn; Student Body President Laymon Hicks; Service Scholar Vice Chair Amanda Gonzalez; and the Dunlaps are among those participating in the dedication ceremony.
