Educational Opportunity Program
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is committed to the core values
of Excellence, Achievement, Leadership and Community. Our department
provides a support and information base that validates each student’s
experience and nurtures a sense of participation, belonging and
empowerment. EOP will service all students while focusing on
low-income and first-generation undergraduates. EOP strives
to maximize a student’s involvement and success in the campus
academic community through mentorship, academic programs,
one-to-one counseling/advising, campus student support service
referrals, and social/cultural programming. In addition to assisting
students through graduation, EOP helps motivate and inform students
to utilize available resources to enhance their preparation for the job market
and/or graduate/professional school admission.
EOP Cultural Services
The Educational Opportunity Program sponsors diverse cultural programming for the entire
campus community through African diasporic, American Indian, Chican@/Latin@ and Asian
Resource Centers. EOP provides cultural programs that facilitate interaction and collaboration
between students of all cultural/ethnic backgrounds, allowing them to gain an understanding
of and appreciation for similarities and differences in each other and themselves. Through
these services, EOP Cultural Services helps to create an environment that celebrates and
promotes the history, contributions, intellectual heritage, education and growth of students.
