[Korte, Erin - (erinkorte)]

Please Join us for the ALVSCE Perspectives on Diversity & Inclusion Series

Thrive with US!

Wednesday, May 20th | 12:00pm - 1:00pm | ZOOM Only

Join us as we provide a brief overview of Student Success and Retention Innovation (SSRI) and dive into the support offered through the Thrive Center. We'll discuss the programs within the area and also how they approach their work with first-generation college students, students with high financial need, and students who have been historically underrepresented in higher education.
