An introduction to the four phases of the Pathway to EmpowermentÂ
Opportunities for students to work alongside peers and instructors in small group settingsÂ
An understanding of the resources and tools available to help students succeed both academically and personallyÂ
A platform for students to explore their interests, make connections, and take action in ways that positively impact their community
