Educational Opportunity Program/Merit Access Program

Director's Note

•  

  

   

  Welcome to Fall 2020- A semester like no other!

  You are experiencing a society affected by a global pandemic, of course this includes your higher education. You have undoubtedly heard the phrase, “you will tell your grandchildren about this.” I am certain this statement will be true. Think for minute about what you will tell future generations about your response to the pandemic, and how you handled it. I hope that narrative includes things like, “I stayed in college, worked hard, used my resources, succeeded and it helped shape who I am today.” Stay focused and attack your school work with purpose and dedication.

  Regarding those resources, EOP/MAP still has the same support services as always; counseling, tutoring, fellowship, belongingness, and group pride. The delivery of those of course has been modified to protect each other’s health.

  In addition, this fall semester, we will have events such as a town meeting as only EOP/MAP does it, a talent show with the Success Fellows, a “Meet the New Students” event, and an alumni panel discussion, just to name a few.

  Stay strong and healthy, and never forget that we are here for you.
