We ask that faculty members strongly encourage students from traditionally underrepresented groups in postsecondary education, such as Hispanic students, low-income students, first-generation students, and other disconnected students to apply for the Engage program.
For questions, please contact Dr. Amanda Riggle at alriggle@cpp.edu.
