Community College Success Initiative

Through UWGLA’s Mentorship Program, community college students will have the opportunity to connect with a mentor in a related field to their area of study. Students will receive professional guidance to support their professional and personal growth. The program will bolster student retention and increase transfer rates and certificate completion as well as offer guided career exploration through a series of workshops and one-on-one meetings.

This initiative was designed to provide students with funding that can be tailored to address their individual needs, whether it’s an unexpected financial emergency, transportation costs, childcare expenses, or simply the high cost of living. The program promotes inclusivity, addressing the diverse and often unique financial struggles students face. A flex fund program contributes to a more equitable learning environment, ensuring that all community college students have the opportunity to succeed regardless of their financial circumstances.
