Eagles RISE Summer Academy

Eagle RISE Summer Academy logo

The Summer Academy is a six-week program consisting of two clustered classes (ENC 1101 and SLS 1510), a math immersion, and student engagement seminars.

Our aim is to connect low-income, minority, and first-generation students with faculty, staff, and resources across TCC's campus to help them achieve a successful academic, social, and personal transition to TCC. Students in the program will work collaboratively among a diverse group of learners. They will develop the skills necessary to thrive academically and reach their personal goals of certification, graduation, and/or transfer.
