2017–2018 STUDENT SNAPSHOT We believe a four-year college degree is the key to unlocking the potential in every student. When our stu- dents leverage their innate skills and talents, we elevate our communities and our democracy. The talent they possess is what drives us to do this work, so together we rise above the obstacles that stand between them and their goals.
