Project ISLAS goals include:
- Increase direct access to 4-year institutions for traditionally underserved populations.
- Increase student success by developing a University Experience Program with integrated student support services and co-curricular elements.
- Build an institutional culture of evidence and assessment and to provide professional development opportunities that support student success.
