Running Start is a four day intensive program geared to support multicultural first year students. In keeping with the university’s commitment to diversity, the purpose of this program is to assist the acclimation of traditionally marginalized and other underrepresented groups towards a rewarding and inclusive collegiate experience.
Participants in the Running Start program will be offered an array of workshops, seminars, and activities that empower them to be advocates for their academic success, facilitate opportunities for networking and teambuilding, and contribute to a vibrant Hawk Hill. Graduates of the Running Start Program have found the Running Start Program beneficial to their academic growth and personal development, serve in multiple leadership positions on and off campus and provide informal mentoring and support to the campus community.
