The Virginia College Access Network (VirginiaCAN), with funds from the College Access Challenge Grant Program, is hosting the informational seminar, “PERSIST: A Comprehensive Guide for Student Success in Higher Education” on Friday, April 24 in the James Monroe Building in Richmond. PERSIST is a practical guide for higher education professionals to increase the persistence rate of low-income, first-generation, college-going students, developed by the ECMC Foundation, an ECMC Group company. PERSIST is a FREE resource designed to encourage vocational, community and four-year postsecondary institutions assess their retention rates, set new targets, and plan retention-focus programs. The seminar, which will run from 8:00AM – 4:00PM, also provides materials to help students adjust to college life, focus on their goals, overcome financial barriers and succeed in higher education and life. This workshop is FREE!
