Description
SAFE (Students Achieving First-Year Excellence) is a peer mentoring, academic readiness and transition support program designed to help students successfully matriculate through their first year at Charlotte. Our programs ease the transition from high school to college and help minimize academic, social, and emotional challenges by encouraging student to actively utilize and participate in Charlotte academic/support services, peer to peer support, and raising awareness of various campus resources.
SAFE also combines academic support with personal development programming to encourage your academic achievement, positive self-concept and increased personal growth. Participation in SAFE helps students achieve not only their Charlotte degree of choice but also a degree of excellence in your future.
SAFE Voyage -Voyage is a week-long program held the week before classes begin. During Voyage students will learn to navigate campus and be introduced to academic & student support resources while networking with students, faculty, & staff. Participation in Voyage automatically enrolls students into the year long academic SAFE program.
Your donation will support SAFE Voyage and other operations related to SAFE.
