College Is Possible (CIP) partner institutions’ ability to
inspire, prepare and support the increased access and success of
students from underserved communities in higher education depends on the
commitment and dedication of institutional and community leaders,
educators, parents, and others.
Periodically during the year, CIP partner institutions conduct events
and activities that recognize and honor those who have been instrumental
in promoting the successful growth and achievement of students. These
recognition events normally mark the end of a campus-sponsored
pre-college program and highlight the contributions people and
organizations have made to the program’s success.
While the events increase visibility for CIP
partner institutions’ longstanding support of pre-collegiate
programs, they also allow CIP partner institutions to
demonstrate their commitment to collaborative partnerships with schools
and other community organizations. It is these valuable
collaborations that help more students from underserved communities
realize their postsecondary aspirations each year.
