The primary audience is English Language Learners; a large portion of this group of students identify as being new Americans, immigrants, and refugees. Many of these students and their families could benefit from extensive explanation and information regarding program types that exist in post-secondary education, particularly in a community college setting. With increased targeted outreach and support, it is the goal of this initiative to provide leadership.
