Project Transforming Tomorrow
The University of Nevada Las Vegas chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, in collaboration with the UNLV Graduate College, created Project Transforming Tomorrow as an after-school program aimed at providing greater access to information about higher education to high school students in the Las Vegas Valley. Initially, the program will work with one high school that has previously collaborated with UNLV’s College of Education and that has high percentages of first-generation, low-income, and/or minority students. As the program grows, additional high schools will be incorporated. The program will take place at the selected high school, and the school’s administrators and teachers will choose the first cohort of students.
