Campus Community
Scholars build connection to their new college community through Campus Induction Ceremonies and Campus Community Meetings, helping them feel grounded and supported from the moment they arrive on campus.
Where Scholars Thrive
College Thrive picks up where College Readiness leaves off, walking with scholars from their first day on campus through graduation and into their first steps after college. It’s the middle chapter of College Track’s high-touch, relationship-centered model, when sustained, decade-long support matters most.
College Thrive programming is built around five goals that support the whole scholar:
- Academic Excellence: Scholars get the tools and guidance to stay on track and graduate with a bachelor’s degree.
- Financial Literacy: Scholars build the knowledge to make confident, informed decisions about paying for college and managing life on their own.
- Emotional Well-Being & Sense of Belonging: Scholars have spaces to be honest about the challenges of college, and know they’re not alone in facing them.
- Career Self-Authorship: Scholars explore their interests, values, and abilities so they can make career and life choices with confidence.
- A Strong College Track Network: Scholars build lasting connections to staff, peers, and alumni that carry them through graduation and beyond.
