About Us
We aim to aid our historically underserved students as they transition through their university careers here in this office. By providing opportunities to get involved in the campus community, thus shaping their college experience, encouraging them to accept the differences of others, and putting them in spaces where they can be healthy, connected, and learning-focused students!
