Programs and Opportunities

The ASCEND program also provides support and resources to Cooperman  Scholars and IMPACT participants who are EOF or RISE students. Below is a description of these programs:

IMPACT

Increasing Male Practitioners and Classroom Teachers 

The mission of IMPACT is to increase the representation of males from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds in teaching and respond to persistent opportunity gaps faced by young men from diverse backgrounds. Many of the student participants will come from underserved environments and will want to utilize education to contribute to the socioeconomic and educational transformation of these communities. IMPACT focuses on incoming freshmen at Rowan University and provides resources and supports as they persist through their college career. IMPACT participants are high achieving students who have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and community engagement.
