What Students Say

The EOPS program has provided me with the resources and support that will help me succeed academically.

Initially, I thought I would be on my own when it came to college, however, I was proven wrong when I joined EOPS.

It has also taught me that college can be a friendly environment.

Initially, I thought I would be on my own when it came to college, however, I was proven wrong when I joined EOPS.

Thanks to the EOPS program I have made great friends, and developed the confidence to seek additional information and support from other resources on campus.
