Access, Opportunity, & Success

Catalog description

The HEOP program was first established in YS in 1969 as a way to provide access to opportunities for capable students who, due to academic under- preparation and limited financial resources, may not otherwise have had the chance to attend college. This course will provide students with information regarding the history and policies of opportunity programs in New York and nationwide in order to help situate themselves within this storied program. Beyond this, the course will help students develop their academic abilities and acquire the skills necessary to see themselves as scholars and prepare them for the rigors of Le Moyne College. All content in this course will be explored through the lens of the LMC HEOP pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Community, Service, and Advocacy. The format of this learning community will be an intimate seminar geared towards academic growth, cohort development, and intellectual curiosity. Registration for this course is open to HEOP & AHANA Learning Community members only.
