Transitions Program
Transitions is a program designed to enhance the first-year experience for incoming Black students by providing leadership training, workshops, peer mentoring, and other social and academic activities to ensure that all participants are prepared for college and beyond. Accepted students will have the opportunity to move in early to enable them to attend the required early arrival program.
