Helping Underserved Students Gain Access to and Succeed in College
"How we tackle the challenge of helping underserved students gain access to and succeed in college will define America’s place in history."
~ Rick Dalton
Overview
College For Every Student (CFES) will lead a discussion on how to tackle the greatest issue facing our country today: helping underserved youth get to our colleges and to be successful there. CFES is a national leader in facing this challenge. By utilizing three core practices - Peer Mentoring, Leadership through Service, and Pathways to College - CFES has helped numerous students get to and succeed in college. Over the last four years, 95% of CFES high school seniors (more than 3,500) have gone on to college. What are the specific challenges we need to address? How can we work with students and educators at all levels (K-16)? How can we ensure that our students succeed once they get to college? Join us to learn the answers to these questions and more.
