Educational Equity

Our Mission

The Educational Equity Group provides academic, social, and cultural resources essential for the success of first-generation, limited income, and/or underrepresented students. By celebrating their lived experiences and building on their unique strengths, we support undergraduates in achieving their academic goals, preparing for life after graduation, and empowering them to be lifelong, engaged citizens.

Connecting Students, Engaging Communities

We are dedicated to fostering campus-community partnerships creating civic spaces and empowering students to be lifelong, engaged citizens.

 

Collaborative Center programs connect more than 400 students each year to community partners in New Brunswick and beyond through in-depth placements and projects involving policy research, access to education, health, language, and the arts, to name a few.
