supporting the success of
first generation college students

With nearly all of our students the first in their families to go to college, they cannot always rely on guidance from their families to help them navigate the sometimes rocky waters of college life.

Our Alumni Program enables us to foster close connections with our graduates. A full-time alumni coordinator provides assistance with financial aid issues and academic support as well as personal counseling and mentoring. This close connection keeps our alumni involved with Eastside, which provides role models for our current students and helps us learn how to better prepare our students for the realities of college life.
