Vision Statement

SORCE believes that the University must be a progressive leader in creating a diverse student body by providing access and educational opportunities to underrepresented community members to reconcile historical injustices of the U.S. education system. To this end, SORCE joins the University in creating and sustaining an inclusive and equitable society.

**Underrepresented students, specifically according to representation here at CU, are defined as: low-income students, students of color, first-generational students, students with disabilities, LGBTQI students, and non-traditional students.

Mission:

The Student Outreach Retention Center for Equity is dedicated to providing strategies to prospective college students so that they develop an action plan that results in a degree in higher education. The constituency we serve includes the following historically underrepresented communities: Students of Color, First Generation Students, LGBTQQTI, Low Income Students, Non-Traditional Students, Student Parents and Student with Disabilities. Given that education provides upward social and economic mobility, it is SORCE's goal to help ensure that our constituency is able to avail themselves of this opportunity.


This involves reaching out to these types of underrepresented students in K-12 and community college level and helping them develop an action plan to meet their collegiate goal. Additionally, SORCE provides student-to-student advocacy so as to retain underrepresented students who are already on campus by directing them to the resources for appropriate and effective address of their issues, concerns and needs.
