Connecticut: Mentoring Program To Prepare Students For College (Hartford Courant)
"Fifteen young men from the Hartford area will enter a new program at Goodwin College this fall, designed to guide men of color through Goodwin in preparation for attending four-year colleges," the Hartford Courant reports. "The initiative, Men of Vision in Education, will pair the students with peer and community mentors and faculty members who will monitor the students' progress, said Anthony Harrington, the director of the program, who is also the director of continuing education at Goodwin. MOVE has begun recruiting students from among those participating in Goodwin's Summer Bridge program and from applicants to that program and to the college, Harrington said. Goodwin is also creating what Harrington called a 'pathway' from the program it runs for high school students, ConnCAP, through the Summer Bridge program to MOVE."
