Grand Canyon Youth DSU Trip

Piloted in the summer of 2018, this program was geared toward providing incoming freshmen college credit, fulfillment of the orientation requirement, as well as providing a unique and exclusive experience. This week long program began with leadership training provided by The Multicultural Inclusion Center on campus along with bonding experiences for our students. The following three days of the trip included river rafting and kayaking with Grand Canyon Youth 11 miles from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and hiking at the bottom of Horseshoe Bend. Students who attended also got to know professors from their major on a first-name basis and work with them in hands-on activities. This provided a rare chance for the students to meet faculty in their field who were able to provide information, advice, and who will follow up with students throughout the semester to maintain a close relationship and to ensure the success of our students.
