College Engagement honors the distinct identities and communities of our students through a process of self inquiry, community connection and resource sharing to ensure that they gather the personal insights and academic tools they need to succeed in college and in life. College Engagement integrates families as essential participants in this journey; if they understand and play a direct role, their students’ post-secondary plans and paths will be more purposeful and hopeful.
