GLENVILLE, WV – The staff of Glenville State College's Student Support Services (SSS) will be hosting a 'Pioneer-a-Palooza' open house on Thursday, August 21st beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the Mollohan Campus Community Center Ballroom. The event will include a barbecue, games, and a live concert featuring the band 3 AM Tokyo. All activities are free and open to GSC students and the local community.

"This annual open house event is meant to welcome everyone back for another exciting year. It helps inform the campus community about SSS programs and benefits, which include free tutoring, technological support, career exploration, community service and cultural events, scholarships, and more! This year's activities – including a barbecue, 3AM Tokyo's performance, and games – promise to be a fun and family-friendly time," said SSS Teacher/Counselor Ashley Hopkins.

3AM Tokyo has performed up and down the east coast and has proven to be a college town favorite. Their music is a mix of electronic dance, pop, dubstep, and rock. The foursome, comprised of Grammy nominated singer/songwriter/producer 'Picasso,' Jack Kolber, Jeff Lindsay, and Manny Rodriguez, recently released their debut album, 'One of Those Crazy Nights.'

Student Support Services is a federally funded program designed to help students succeed in college. The program conducts community outreach and provides educational and cultural activities that aid students in earning their degrees. Annually, SSS serves around 150 qualified students.
