Introducing the WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE INITIATIVE
While college is a time of transition for all students, the challenge is
tougher for students of color, particularly those from low-income families and
those who are their families’ first to go to college.
The Women of Excellence Initiative focuses on women who are historically
unrepresented. The initiative focuses on opportunities for engagement
that facilitate a sense of belonging, persistence to graduation, and readiness
for life after college. By participating in this group, students will be able
to explore their identity as women, appreciate their strengths and weaknesses,
personal values, cultural appreciation, and find a community personal and
cultural competencies (self-confidence, empowerment, communication) and most of
all the since of communicating beyond differences.
Another huge opportunity for students will be an opportunity to quality for
scholarship funds that can help financially.
