EAO Phoenix - Statewide Strategic Outreach

The mission of the Office of Early Academic Outreach (EAO) is to increase the number of low-income, underrepresented, and first generation college students who are eligible to enter a university degree program.

EAO’s College Access Initiatives:

Direct Work With Students
Engaging Families
Building College Going Culture in K-12 communities
Building connections between college and careers
Developing peer groups that sustain college-going culture
Exposure to STEM – through design competitions, extension events on university campuses, and connections with college and career mentors.

This Phoenix Team is contributing to the expansion of EAO to the central region and our assessment of these initiatives will be important to expanding college access for students.
