Our Mission

To offer a foundation for student success.

GEP 101

GEP 101 is an integrative and interdisciplinary experience which addresses public affairs issues and individual choices promoting academic success. 

IDS 310

IDS 310 is required for students who are selected as Peer Leaders.  Trained Peer Leaders work collaboratively with GEP 101 Instructors to serve as role models, assist with class activities and teaching, develop positive relationships with new students, and serve as resources for informing students about campus activities and services.
