Exchange Programs

Second Family Programs
African-American freshmen and sophomore students have the option to participate in a "Second Family" program with selected faculty and staff. Under the auspices of the Academic Affairs and Dean of Students Offices, this program facilitates students' adjustment to campus by giving them an opportunity to develop a rapport with established members of the college.
