The Southern Ohio Center of
Excellence has three stated access goals which are to:
1.
Develop P-16 Programs that guide the student through the
college pathway until graduation;
2.
Develop adult Resource Centers to assist students in enrolling
and succeeding in postsecondary education;
3.
And
address poverty issues that inhibit young people and adults
from entering into and completing higher education.
SOCOE will
establish task forces to address the issues surrounding
Access, Advocacy and Sustainability. Currently, SOCOE is
serving as an umbrella organization bridging the gaps in
student services as well as creating new programming
opportunities in pilot high schools.
The schools in the SOCOE service area are serving as pilot
facilities in which the P-16 model is being developed. Five
in-school College Access Advisors will work with high school
students on the college pathway at West Union, Eastern Brown,
Wilmington City Schools, Miami Trace, and Whiteoak. Three of
the five schools are located in the Appalachian area of
Ohio. Other services coordinated by the Southern Ohio Center
