ILCC-Governor's State University CSC Coordinator
 
 
 
Central to Governor's State University's (GSU) efforts to eliminate systemic barriers to education, the work through the Community Service Civic Engagement Center (CSCEC) implements and assesses initiatives to promote higher education access and success for underrepresented groups. The CSCEC identifies progress indicators (student test scores, reading levels, grades) to lead effective tutoring and mentoring initiatives for low-income and high-risk youth in the surrounding community. Similiarily, the CSCEC collects baseline data to identify the primary needs of low-income and first-generation college students, and plan projects to improve college access and success for these target populations. CSCEC also levies campus and community resources to increase the awareness services that improve access and success in secondary education. In particular, projects build capacity through college prep workshops, academic support, counseling and other retention activities that benefit low-income and first-generation college students. To decrease student insecurities among students at GSU, the CSCEC offers supplemental food and information on local food pantries through the management of the GSU Food Pantry. Also through emergency resources such as the Jaguar Den, Career Closet, and Grab N' Go Bags. Through collaboration with the Veterans Resource Center, GSU is also able to provide a stronger foundation for its student veteran population.
