To achieve this goal activities encompass thethree areas that include recruitment, retention, and enrichment. Recruitment initiatives focus onstrategic partnerships, discipline-based events, student collaborations, summer research programsand visitation programs. Retention objectives are directed at scholars, tutoring, summer transitionprograms, and a faculty mentoring network.
