Title V Advisory Committee

The Title V Advisory Committee is crucial for developing strategies and achieving goals meant to institutionalize grant initiatives, gather data, and explore new creative ways to support Hispanic/LatinX, first-generation and other under-served student populations. The grant entails four major goals, which are listed below.

  1. Adding Embedded Counseling to courses identified as having lower passing rates for first-generation student populations;
  2. Adding Embedded Tutoring to these same courses;
  3. Running at least 8 financial wellness workshops for students every year;
  4. Developing a faculty-to-faculty professional development network invested in the andragogy, cultural competency, and career skill development as focal point for a professional development network.
