Determined to Succeed*
Director's Statement
Every child, regardless of circumstances, deserves to live a happy, healthy, productive life. Yet not every child has the same access to such a life. Nearly 90% of low-income, first generation college students fail to graduate. While college is not life’s end goal, there is a direct connection between a college degree and living a fulfilling life. Research shows that Americans with a degree are not only posed to earn 66% more than those with only a high school diploma, but they are significantly more likely to live longer and enjoy life. At DTS, we take a unique, holistic approach to college access and success for underserved students. We meet our students where they are and listen to where they want to go. We then provide a multitude of individualized services to ensure they are prepared for the arduous road ahead. Mimi Neandross Contact Information Room 407 Email: [email protected]
