Throughout all grant activity and institutional bolstering, our goal is to close equity gaps connected to student success and retention.

The main objective is to expand access to college by building a structure that engages, advises, and supports students and their families from Wilbur Wright and high schools to NEIU.

1. Connect high school students and their families in the target communities shared by Wright and NEIU to the local higher education system and prepare them for the math and English demands of a college education.

2. Enhance the freshman and sophomore experience at Wright by bringing to scale structures to support early goal-setting and academic success that will translate into degree attainment.

3. Enhance the advising transfer pathway between Wright and NEIU to provide students a clear pathway between the two institutions.

4. Support degree attainment at NEIU through third- and fourth-year career preparation support, especially in teacher preparation.
