The Brotherhood and Sisterhood (BHSH) Scholars Program uses a holistic approach to assist first-year students during their transition to postsecondary education and adulthood.

This program welcomes students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds and may prove particularly impactful to students from backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in higher education. This program is located within the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), a university department committed to creating an inclusive environment for students and providing access to supportive resources to empower students to achieve their personal, academic and professional goals.

Two cohorts exist within our program: Brotherhood Scholars and
Sisterhood Scholars. Students may choose to participate in either cohort
 
Through student-centered programming facilitated by dedicated staff and faculty, we work to instill a strong sense of community, embolden students to strengthen their academic performance and stamina on their path toward degree completion. Our collaborative university partnerships offer an extended orientation, designated courses, academic coaching, mentorship, and structured workshops.
