NEXT Level
We are excited to introduce the NEXT Level program at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The NEXT Level program is looking for historically underserved students who want to be part of a group that promotes knowledge, gains relationships, and empowers success. This population
includes, but is not limited to the following:
• Individuals who are the first generation in their family to attend college.
• Those of low socio-economic background.
• Students of color.
Unfortunately, research shows that historically underserved students tend to be much more likely to leave school without a degree. Having this knowledge helps us to focus attention in the right places and make positive changes to our students’ first year in college. At ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, we are working to change history.
As with all of our efforts at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, NEXT Level strives to celebrate diversity, support equity, and honor inclusion. We will do this by providing our NEXT Level students with a peer mentor, a faculty/staff advisor, and opportunities designed to build bonds and connections between participants.
NEXT Level is F.I.R.E.
F = Family (A family away from home)
I = Information (A place to go to ask questions)
R = Relationship (A lasting bond with faculty, staff, and other students)
E = Experience (Activities tailored to help students grow during the college years)
