The RISE Scholars Program uses a holistic approach to support first-year students as they transition into postsecondary education and adulthood—and continues to track and support their academic progress through graduation.
RISE is a cohort-based initiative: Through student-centered programming facilitated by dedicated staff and faculty, RISE fosters a strong sense of community and empowers students to build academic resilience and performance on the path toward earning their degree.
RISE collaborates with university partners to offer an extended orientation experience, designated first-year courses, academic coaching, mentorship, and structured workshops—creating a foundation for long-term student success.
