A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support under-represented groups within the student body:
For the students the most popular support system comes from the Student organizations inside the Multicultural Center. It is not 1 on 1 counseling between a student and a faculty person, it is a connections between students going through the same types of issues being part of an under-represented group. An example would the the North Stem program which gives a scholarship to those students of under-represented groups who are pursueing a degree in the sciences. As part of the program there are expectations that the Upperclassmen mentor and guide the lowerclassmen through the first 2 semester of college. This has shown that students are becoming good friends and building long-term relationships.
