As an education practitioner or partner, you know all too well that many students from historically underserved backgrounds get into college but don't complete their degrees. This trend needs to change, and there is a way to positively influence the total student experience and overcome barriers to college success.

Through research-based and innovative practices, we can help more students from diverse backgrounds achieve their academic goals and get the support they need to succeed. By implementing and evaluating these practices in academic and community settings, we can make a significant impact on the lives of many students.
