Providing Access to Higher Education
Our office is housed within the College of Education and Human Services at CMU. The University provides students at CMU-authorized charter public schools resources and programs to show them that higher education is accessible and important to their future.
Visits to Campus
We are proud to partner with CMU to offer exclusive events for CMU’s partner charter high schools and eighth-grade students. Our campus visit programs, Experience Central and Fire Up for Your Future, are innovative opportunities to inspire and inform students as they prepare for their journey beyond high school. Students walk away with firsthand experiences and a better understanding of what it takes to prepare for, and succeed in, college.
- Experience Central – One day campus experience for high school juniors and seniors held in the fall. Learn more at our event website.
- Fire Up for Your Future – One day campus experience for eighth-grade students held throughout the year. Learn more at our event website.
